Best Answer

An annuity payout is cash recieved from an annuity that you build through investment. There are several types of annuity payouts, such as the Life option, which pays retirement based on your life expectancy, and a Joint-life option that pays for you and your spouse.

Annuity payments are fixed payments made out over a specific amount of time. These days there are companies that can offer you a lump sum settlement on your fixed annuity payment that you recieve if you wish to have all your money now.,

Are there any tax advantages to having a cash settlement instead of installments?

When you take a monetary payout in installments, especially in an annuity (yearly installments) you must pay taxes on each installment. While this wouldn't be a problem for a monthly payout, taking a lump sum payout on an annuity means you only have to pay taxes once on it. Typically a cash settlement will be less than the total of the installments. The advantage is that you have the money all at once. Of course you'll have to pay taxes on it if the settlement isn't exempt from taxes.


What are the advantages to choosing a life annuity as a pension payout option over rolling over the money to an IRA and withdrawing monthly from the principal the same amount as the annuity pays?

Understanding Annuity Payouts?

Creating a steady income for retirement is a topic that is often discussed by many people. Fortunately, there is a way that you can have a steady retirement income. If you are thinking about a way to create retirement income, you might want to consider annuities as a potential investment option. Annuities can be created when you give a lump sum of money either to an insurance company, a charitable organization, or a university. In exchange for your giving the money, you are then promised an annuity payout that will start at a predetermined time and will occur annually for the remainder of your lifetime. In terms of what the annuity payout will be, that depends on how much money you give initially. The more money you give, the higher your annuity payout is likely to be. Also, much depends on how many years you defer the annuity. In other words, the annuity payout will be larger if you defer the start of the payout for more years as opposed to fewer years. Another thing to keep in mind is that there is fixed annuity payout and there is variable annuity payout. You can typically choose whether you are going to get a fixed annuity payout or a variable annuity payout at the time that you give the initial lump sum of money. If you select a fixed annuity payout, it means that your annual annuity payout will always be the same amount when the payments start occurring. However, if you select a variable annuity payout, that means that your annuity payout will vary from year to year depending on the results of investment and economic conditions. Granted, annuity payouts are not the only investment options that one has for retirement. For instance, there are Roth IRA’s and various other types of retirement investments that are available if you want them. Nonetheless, in terms of sheer simplicity, the annuity payout option is difficult to beat because you do not have to worry about making investment decisions by yourself. All you have to do is just give an initial lump sum payment and then wait to receive your annuity payments annually.
