Desired monthly income
$2,000$24,000 annual goal · 20-year finite planning duration
Add an existing savings amount to compare two nominal totals.
$2,000 per month equals $24,000 per year and $480,000 over 20 years before any growth, taxes, fees, insurer pooling, or contract terms.

Questions to take into a carrier comparison
No insurer payout or required premium is calculated. The nominal total is monthly goal × 12 × selected years. A guaranteed lifetime payment differs from a finite mathematical series. Actual insurer results depend on age, state, rates, product, guarantees, survivor provisions, and contract terms. A payout percentage is not a credited interest rate, and an income-benefit base is generally not accessible cash.

Important: the income benefit base is an accounting value used to estimate rider income. It is not cash, surrender value, or a death benefit.
Not a quote or recommendation. Results are produced only from the assumptions shown. Actual rider formulas, eligibility ages, fees, bonuses, withdrawal factors, credits, joint-life terms, surrender values, and guarantees vary by insurer and contract.

Questions to ask before choosing an annuity
A rate or income estimate is only one part of the decision.
How do fixed and fixed indexed annuities differ?
A traditional fixed annuity or MYGA generally credits a stated rate for a defined period. A fixed indexed annuity may credit interest through an index-linked formula with caps, participation rates, spreads, or other terms. Neither is a direct investment in an index.
How do guarantee periods work?
A rate-guarantee period can differ from the surrender-charge period. Review what is guaranteed, for how long, what happens afterward, and how early access is treated.
Can an annuity provide lifetime income?
Some contracts offer annuitization or optional lifetime-income riders. Payment amounts depend on the contract, age, timing, single- or joint-life selection, and other terms.
Can Skyway review an annuity I already own?
Yes. A review can help identify current benefits, surrender status, income provisions, renewal terms, and questions to ask before considering any change.
What should I consider before an exchange?
An exchange may restart surrender charges or replace benefits you cannot recover. Compare the existing and proposed contracts carefully, including guarantees, fees, liquidity, income features, and tax considerations.
What can limit access to my money?
Surrender charges, market value adjustments, withdrawal limits, tax consequences, and contract-specific rules can affect liquidity.
