But What About Online Annuity Comparisons Tables?

Putting Annuity Comparisons Into Perspective

It's never been an easy task to navigate an online annuity table at the best of times, but even when you think you may have a handle on it, did you know that you may not even be getting the correct up-to-date information or rates.

Was the table just an incomplete selection of annuity providers and products available in the market?

Is the site tied to one or more providers and did you receive an individual, guaranteed quote based on your personal requirements or was it just a general illustration?

Your annuity income may be significantly higher if you have even relatively minor health issues. Some annuity providers also take into account your previous occupation when calculating your annuity income, especially in the case of manual workers. Some also take account of where you live. The shorter that you are expected to live, the higher your annuity will be. Therefore, the figures shown on the table may have no relation whatsoever to the income that you could actually achieve.

Consider This...

Ask Yourself These Questions

Let's assume everything was as it should have been, including full up-to-date information - do you know whether you want a level, fixed-rate escalating or an RPI-linked escalating annuity? What about your spouse, partner or dependant's percentage on your death? And then of course there's the alternatives to annuities such as capped drawdown.

If you do not get it right, the whole effort can often turn out to be a huge waste of time, or, much worse, lose you a fortune from your pension income.

Yes, there are a bewildering array of retirement income choices, but, as we say above, when we bring all the information and rates together specifically for your particular circumstances, it all suddenly becomes a lot easier.
