Fixed Annuity Calculator

It’s time to put your Financial Roadmap in motion!  Are you ready?

Fixed Annuity Calculator (7 Years, 0% Floor)

Enter hypothetical index returns (7 years). We subtract a required Dividends & Interest drag (1–2%) from the index return, apply the cap (≤ 9%), and enforce a 0% floor.

Type numbers only; we’ll format automatically.
This is subtracted from the raw index return before crediting.
Rule: At least two years must be exactly 0.00%. Cap ≤ 9%. Floor = 0% after drag.

Definitions

Cap Rate
The maximum positive rate that can be credited in a year. If the net return exceeds the cap, credited rate is limited to the cap.
0% Floor
Negative results do not reduce the account; if the net return after deductions is negative, the credited rate is 0%.
Dividends & Interest (D&I) Drag
A required deduction (1–2%) taken from the raw index return before any cap is applied.
Net Before Cap
Net Before Cap = Index Return − D&I Drag
Credited Rate
Credited Rate = max(0%, min(Net Before Cap, Cap))
CAGR (Credited)
Compound annual growth rate based on credited results: CAGR = (Ending / Starting)^(1/7) − 1
