Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between ordinary annuity and annuity due?
Ordinary annuity payments occur at the end of each period. Annuity due payments occur at the beginning. Annuity due produces a slightly higher future value.
Can I calculate the required payment?
Yes. Enter the target future value, rate, and periods to back into the required periodic payment amount.
Does this cover variable annuities?
No. This calculator models fixed annuities with a constant interest rate and payment amount. Variable annuity returns fluctuate and require different modeling.
What rate should I use?
Use the guaranteed rate from the annuity contract. For general planning, enter the rate offered by the insurance company or financial institution.
How do I open this in Google Sheets?
Upload the .xlsx file to Google Drive, then open it with Google Sheets. All formulas and formatting will be preserved.
