What kinds of annuities are there?
There are different types of annuities, fixed, and variable. Here is how they work:
-
Fixed (Guaranteed) Annuity. A fixed annuity is an insurance contract that pays a guaranteed rate of interest on the owner's contributions and later provides a guaranteed income.
-
Indexed Annuity. Also known as a fixed-index or equity-indexed annuity, features income payments tied to a stock index, such as the S&P 500.
-
Variable Annuity. A variable annuity is a contract between you and an insurance company, under which the insurer agrees to make periodic payments to you, beginning either immediately or at some future date. You purchase a variable annuity contract by making either a single purchase payment or a series of purchase payments.
-
Qualified VS. Non-qualified Annuities.
-
A qualified annuity is funded with pre-tax dollars. The entire distribution from a qualified annuity (contributions and earnings) is subject to ordinary income taxes.
-
A non-qualified annuity is funded with after-tax dollar, meaning taxes on the money were paid before it goes into the annuity. Upon distribution, only the earning are taxable as ordinary income.
-
Why do people buy annuities?
People typically buy annuities to help manage their income in retirement. Annuities provide three things:
-
Periodic payments for a specific amount of time. This may be for the rest of your life, or the life of your spouse or another person.
-
Death benefits. If you die before you start receiving payments, the person you name as your beneficiary receives a specific payment.
-
Tax-deferred growth. You pay no taxes on the income and investment gains from your annuity until you withdraw the money.
