Guaranteeing $3,450/mo for life
Beginning at age 65 and continuing for as long as you live — funded by a Fixed Indexed Annuity with a lifetime income rider.
Estimated lump sum required today
$376,364
This one-time premium grows during your deferral years, then turns on a guaranteed monthly income that covers your full non-negotiable floor — income that continues for life even if the contract value runs to zero.

Lump sum as a share of your total portfolio 20.9%
$376,364 of your $1,800,000 net worth would fund the annuity. The remaining $1,423,636 stays invested for growth, legacy, and flexibility.
Lump sum as a share of your bond allocation 64.3%
Your bond allocation is $585,000 (45% of liquid assets). Funding the income floor from this sleeve would use 64.3% of it — turning a portion of your fixed-income holdings into guaranteed lifetime income, while your equity allocation is left fully intact.
How the guaranteed income is built

A Fixed Indexed Annuity with a Guaranteed Lifetime Withdrawal Benefit (GLWB) works in three stages:

1
Fund a one-time premium today from a portion of your portfolio.
2
Grow the income base by a guaranteed roll-up during your 10 deferral years.
3
Receive a guaranteed monthly check at retirement — for life, regardless of markets.
Figures use illustrative GLWB assumptions (see footnote) and will be replaced by live, current carrier illustrations before any recommendation.

Lock in the real numbers with a licensed specialist

This is an illustrative starting point — not a recommendation, offer, or guarantee. A licensed Quote-Bot specialist can pull live carrier illustrations with current roll-up and payout rates, confirm suitability, and tailor the income floor to your full picture, with no sales pressure.

Illustrative and educational figures only. Fixed Indexed Annuities credit interest based on a formula tied to an external index subject to caps, participation rates, and spreads that the issuing insurer may change; they are not securities and you are not investing directly in any index, stock, or bond. The guaranteed income shown is generated by an optional Guaranteed Lifetime Withdrawal Benefit rider, which carries an annual fee and is subject to the rider's terms. Values shown are non-guaranteed illustrations, are not a prediction of future results, and assume hypothetical roll-up and payout factors. Guarantees, including any guarantee of lifetime income, are backed solely by the claims-paying ability of the issuing insurer. Surrender charges and a market value adjustment may apply to early withdrawals. Withdrawals of taxable amounts are subject to ordinary income tax and, if taken before age 59½, a possible 10% federal penalty. The concentration checks shown are automated, illustrative indicators based only on the inputs you entered; they are not a substitute for the individualized best-interest determination a licensed producer is required to make under applicable state law. This calculator is not an insurance recommendation, application, offer, or guarantee of coverage, and is not tax, legal, or investment advice.
