This annuity payout calculator estimates gross and after-tax periodic income from an existing balance using a payout horizon, frequency, and return assumption. It stays distinct from the annuity calculator by focusing on decumulation and income rather than accumulation and future value.
Formula and method
The calculator converts an existing balance into a level payout stream over the selected horizon using the entered return assumption, then applies a simple tax haircut to show a rough after-tax payout.
Example
If a retiree wants to understand how much a savings balance can support in monthly or annual income, the calculator shows both gross and simple after-tax payout views.
