Study Notes
Term Certain Annuities and Pensions
- Term certain annuities are paid at regular intervals (monthly, quarterly, annually)
- They are commonly used for pensions
- Typically have a fixed interest rate and a fixed term
- These annuities can be indexed to inflation
Cost of Term Certain Annuities
- The cost of a term certain annuity depends on the period of the annuity, the interest rate, and whether it is indexed.
- The formula used to calculate the cost of an unindexed annuity is a(p)n:i
- The formula used to calculate the cost of an indexed annuity is a(p)n:i:g
- For a $100,000 unindexed term certain annuity with a 6.19% yield, the cost would be $11.61206 per dollar of annuity
- For a $100,000 indexed term certain annuity with a 6.19% yield and 3% p.a. indexation, the cost would be $14.70708 per dollar of annuity
Pricing of Annuities (and Pensions)
- Annuities are priced as ordinary annuities, meaning payments are made at the end of each period.
- The formula used to calculate the PV of an annuity is An = R[1- (1+r)-n]/r
- This formula can be used to determine the amount to draw down under an account-based pension.
Annuity Example
- A retiree wanting a $300,000 annuity for 15 years at 5.5% p.a. yield would have to pay $10.0375809 for each annual dollar
- The annual amount received for this annuity would be $29,887.68
- For a monthly payment unindexed annuity, the monthly amount would be $717.67
Indexed Term Certain Annuity
- An indexation rate (g) is applied at the start of each year after the first year, to reflect inflation
- The formula used to calculate an indexed annuity is a(p)n:i:g
- For the indexed annuity from previous example, the monthly indexed income stream in the first year would be $566.24 per month
- This monthly amount would increase each year due to the indexation.
Term Certain Annuities: Example Application
- For a 65-year-old wanting a 25-year annuity with a $2,000 monthly return indexed at 3% p.a.
- This would cost ~$413,000
- The cost of a term certain annuity is dependent on the interest rate, a higher interest rate lowers the cost.
- For example, if the interest rate was 8% p.a., this annuity would cost ~$345,000.
