Sources & standards
How we know what's on this page
- Rates, terms & availability
- Annuity Rate Watch, which aggregates carriers' filed rate sheets. Refreshed every night.
- Financial strength
- A.M. Best. We publish the carrier's letter rating rather than a score of our own.
- Contract detail
- The carrier's own brochure — minimum guaranteed surrender value, death benefit, RMD treatment, annuitization options, waiver riders and free-withdrawal terms. Where the brochure and the rate feed disagree, the brochure wins: it is the filed document. Where neither carries a fact, the page omits it. We do not fill gaps with estimates.
Rates are a snapshot and change frequently. Figures are sourced from the carrier's filed rates via Annuity Rate Watch and refreshed nightly. Nothing here is a recommendation to buy. Annuities are issued by insurance companies and are not guaranteed by any bank or the FDIC. See our legal & disclosures.
