What annuity income could you get?
How much income you get from your annuity depends on:
- The value of your pension fund
- The amount of tax free cash you decide to take
- Age
- Life Expectancy / Health - smokers and people with certain medical conditions statistically have a shorter life expectancy and so income payments are often higher than for healthy non-smokers.
- The type of plan you need - single or joint
There are many options available which will affect your annuity quote and resulting retirement income.
- If you are concerned about your dependants you can get a five or ten year guarantee at a relatively low cost. If you die before the end of the period, your income will continue to be paid for the remainder of that time. This may be a good option to take to help protect your loved ones if you die prematurely.
- If you are concerned about the effects of inflation on your income, you may decide to look at building in an increase to your payments. You would receive a lower starting income if you selected this option.
