Formula
The monthly payout is the level payment that amortizes the principal to zero over the term at the given rate — the same math as a loan payment, but you're the lender receiving it.
How it works
Because the un-paid balance keeps earning, the total paid out exceeds the principal. A higher rate or shorter term raises the monthly check. Real annuity products also add fees and options like lifetime or survivor payouts, which change the figures.
Frequently asked questions
How much does an annuity pay per month?⌄
It depends on the amount, the growth rate, and the payout period. This shows the level monthly payment that would exhaust the balance over the term you choose.
Is this a lifetime annuity?⌄
No — this is a period-certain payout over a fixed number of years. Lifetime annuities pay until death and are priced using mortality tables and insurer fees.
Why is the total more than what I put in?⌄
Because the money that hasn't been paid out yet keeps earning the growth rate, so the payments add up to more than the original principal.
