    What is an annuity?

    Annuities are long-term, tax-deferred vehicles designed for retirement and are insurance contracts. Variable annuities and registered index-linked annuities involve investment risks and may lose value. Earnings are taxable as ordinary income when distributed. Individuals may be subject to a 10% additional tax for withdrawals before age 59½ unless an exception to the tax is met

    *Tax deferral offers no additional value if an IRA or qualified plan, such as a 401(k), is used to fund an annuity and may be found at a lower cost in other investment products. It also may not be available if the annuity is owned by a legal entity such as a corporation or certain types of trusts.

    Jackson has contracted with FinMason to provide a Monte Carlo analysis of the user's input assumptions. Investors should consider his or her current and anticipated time horizon and income tax bracket when making an investment decision. Jackson is not affiliated with FinMason, Inc.

    IMPORTANT: The projections or other information generated by the Tax Deferral Calculator regarding the likelihood of various investment outcomes are hypothetical in nature, do not reflect actual investment results and are not guarantees of future results.
