Tax Deferral Benefits of Variable Annuities
The purpose of this calculator is to assess the potential benefits of a tax-deferred investment within a variable annuity relative to a traditional non-qualified investment vehicle, such as a managed account. The results specifically identify the “breakeven” investor holding period at which investors with different financial plans, income levels and investment risk profiles could possibly be better off in a variable annuity than a taxable account.

This analysis is based on information and assumptions provided by you. Actual results will vary. There are risks associated with investing including the risk of loss not reflected here. The assumed rate of return is not guaranteed. Investments offering the potential for higher rates of return also involve a higher degree of risk.
Lower maximum tax rates on capital gains and dividends would make the investment return for the taxable investment more favorable, thereby reducing the difference in performance between the accounts shown.
