This annuity calculator can help you figure out the fixed payments you'll receive from this type of retirement investment over time. The calculator uses the starting principal balance, the interest rate received on the annuity, and the payment period to calculate annual annuity payments. The calculator also displays the declining balance of the investment over time.

Calculator Definitions

The variables used in our online calculator are defined in detail below, including how to interpret the results.

Starting Principal ($)

This is the starting balance, or principal, of the annuity. This is sometimes referred to as the present value of the annuity.

Annual Interest Rate (%)

This is the interest rate earned per period. This calculator uses an annual interest rate to derive the annuity payment.

Payment Period (Years)

This is the number of years over which the annuity is expected to be paid.

Annuity Payments ($ / Year)

These are the annual payments the investor receives on the annuity. This tool provides a calculation of an ordinary annuity, which is also referred as annuity-immediate. With this type of annuity, payments are made at the end of each period.
