Annuities are a type of financial contract where an individual gives a bank or other institution money that is deposited into an account and sometimes invested. At some point the person who is paying into the annuity can stop depositing money and will instead start receiving money from the account each month. A fixed annuity is a contract that guarantees a person will receive a fixed amount of money every month for a certain period of time or for the rest of his or her life. A fixed immediate annuity begins paying the policy holder as soon as a single premium payment is made.
The premium that is paid on a fixed immediate annuity is usually a very large sum of money. The fixed monthly payments start a few weeks after the premium has been received. The money that is in the annuity that has not been paid out can be invested and can gain interest slowly over the course of the policy. The payments can be made for a set period of time such as 20 years or they can be indefinite up until the death of the policy holder.
Many people use a fixed immediate annuity to distribute personal savings over the course of many years after retirement. This is done because the money that is distributed from the annuity is not taxable. Only the interest that the money earns is taxable. This is presents a very favorable tax situation that is superior to some other types of retirement accounts. The tradeoff for this tax incentive is that the money is not available beyond what is paid out each month. Individuals that do attempt to withdraw all of the money in an annuity at once usually face high fees, penalties and taxes.
The actual payments that are made to a policy holder are guaranteed by the bank or institution that is distributing the money. This is true even if the money from the annuity is lost in an investment. Alternately, money that remains in an annuity beyond the value of the original premium that was paid can be absorbed by the bank when the policy ends or when the policy holder dies.
