I can say that an annuity is a type of insurance. You give the insurance company a large amount of money, say $300,000 when you retire. They then give you a monthly check for the rest of your life. They are "betting" that you will not live too long, and you are 'betting" that you will. You are also "betting" that inflation will not devalue the buying power of the monthly check. Right now, for $300,000 you are likely to get around $15,000 per year ($1200 or so per month).

I do not recommend them as the sales commission takes a big bite out of the base amount, and I expect inflation to kick in within 5 years.

I am guessing, but I think the "due" is a variation on when payments are issued.

What is the difference between ordinary annuity and annuity due?

In an ordinary annuity, the payments are fed into the investment at the END of the year. In an annuity due, the payments are made at the BEGINNING of the year. Therefore, with an annuity due, each annuity payment accumulates an extra year of interest. This means that the future value of an annuity due is always greater than the future value of an ordinary annuity.When computing present value, each payment in an annuity due is discounted for one less year (because one of the payments is not made in the future- it is made at the beginning of this year and is already in terms of present dollars). This will result in a larger present value for an annuity due than for an ordinary annuity, as well.

How can you convert the present value of an ordinary annuity into the present value of annuity due?

The simplest way is to gross up the ordinary annuity (payments in arrears) by a single period at the discounting rate. For example, if the ordinary annuity has semi-annual payments (half yearly) and the PV is $1000 using a discounting rate of 5% p.a., then the PV of the annuity due would be: PVDue= $1,000 x ( 1 + 5%/2 ) = $1,025
