Annuity Example
A 65-year-old woman who is retiring decides to convert her life
insurance into an annuity.
The cash value of her life insurance policy is $165,000 and is
used to buy a Single Premium Immediate Annuity offering a
lifetime income and an installment refund.
The monthly income, for as long as she lives, is $1,524 (equaling
$18,293 yearly). Approximately 79% of this income will be
received tax-free for approximately 9 years (after which 100%
of the income will be taxable).
The installment refund guarantees that if she dies prior to
receiving the full $165,000 she paid as the premium, the annuity
will continue the payments to the beneficiary until this full
amount has been received.
