Life Insurance and annuity calculators are some of the most powerful tools available when planning your financial future. Whether you are evaluating life insurance coverage, estimating burial expenses, or determining how much guaranteed income an annuity can provide, calculators give you immediate, real-world insight into your options. Instead of guessing, you can see actual numbers and scenarios tailored to your situation.

Understanding why income protection matters and how different financial products work together can significantly improve long-term outcomes. By using the calculators below, you can take the first step toward building a more secure financial plan.

Each calculator serves a different purpose, from protecting your family with life insurance to creating predictable retirement income. Use them individually or together to build a more complete picture of your financial future.

Life Insurance Calculator

The life insurance calculator allows you to compare real-time term life insurance rates based on your age, health, and coverage needs. This tool is especially valuable because it shows actual pricing across multiple carriers, helping you understand what coverage may realistically cost before speaking with an advisor. Instead of relying on estimates, you can see side-by-side comparisons that reflect current market conditions and up to date rates.

This is particularly useful when evaluating different types of policies or determining how much coverage fits within your budget. It also helps you understand how factors such as age and health impact pricing. By using this calculator, you can enter conversations with clarity and confidence, knowing what to expect and how to structure your coverage.

Burial Insurance Calculator

The burial insurance calculator is designed to help individuals estimate the cost of final expense coverage. This type of insurance is typically used to cover funeral costs, medical bills, and other end-of-life expenses, making it an important consideration for seniors or those looking to reduce the financial burden on their families. The calculator provides quick, easy comparisons of affordable policies based on your age and coverage preferences.

This tool is especially helpful for individuals seeking simplified underwriting or faster approval options. It allows you to explore different coverage amounts and pricing scenarios, helping you identify a solution that balances affordability with adequate protection. By using this calculator, you can better understand how burial insurance fits into your overall financial plan.

Use this calculator to compare affordable policies designed for seniors and applicants who want faster approval.

Lifetime Income Annuity Calculator

The lifetime income calculator is designed to show how much guaranteed income an annuity can provide based on your investment amount, age, and income goals. This is one of the most valuable tools for retirement planning, as it helps you convert a lump sum into a predictable stream of income that can last for life. It provides clarity around one of the most important questions in retirement: how to ensure your money lasts.

This calculator is particularly useful when evaluating income strategies alongside Social Security and other retirement assets. It allows you to explore different scenarios, such as starting income immediately or deferring it for higher payouts later. By using this tool, you can better understand how annuities fit into a broader income strategy and how they can provide stability regardless of market conditions.

Use our calculator to see how much guaranteed income your annuity can provide.

 

Life Settlement Calculator

The life settlement calculator helps estimate the potential value of an existing life insurance policy if you were to sell it in the secondary market. This can be a valuable option for individuals who no longer need their coverage, can’t afford the premiums, or want to unlock cash value beyond the surrender amount offered by the carrier. Instead of letting a policy lapse, a life settlement may allow you to receive a lump sum payment based on your age, health, and policy details.

This tool provides a quick way to evaluate whether your policy could qualify and what it might be worth. While results are estimates, it can help determine if exploring a life settlement is worth a deeper conversation. Many policyholders are unaware this option exists, making this calculator an important addition to your overall financial planning toolkit.

How to Use These Calculators Together

Each calculator on this page serves a different purpose, but they become even more powerful when used together. Life insurance calculators help protect your family and income during your working years, burial insurance calculators address end-of-life expenses, and annuity calculators focus on creating income in retirement. When combined, they provide a more complete picture of your financial lifecycle.

For example, you might use the life insurance calculator to determine how much protection your family needs today, then use the annuity calculator to plan for future income. This layered approach helps ensure that both short-term and long-term financial needs are addressed. It also allows you to make more strategic decisions about how to allocate resources across different financial tools.

Why Estimates Should Be Reviewed Professionally

While calculators provide valuable insights, they are only the starting point. Actual policy options can vary based on underwriting, health history, and specific carrier guidelines. Working with a professional and independent insurance broker ensures that the estimates you see translate into real-world solutions that meet your needs.

This is why many individuals choose to request a personalized quote after using these tools. By combining calculator insights with expert guidance, you can move from general estimates to a fully structured financial plan that aligns with your goals.

How the Main Annuity Types Compare

Annuities are not one-size-fits-all. Each type is engineered for a different financial objective — some prioritize growth, others guarantee income, and others focus on principal protection. Choosing the wrong structure can mean locking into the wrong product for decades or missing out on significantly higher income. Working with an independent annuity broker eliminates that risk. Jason Stolz (CLTC, CRPC, DIA, CAA) has over 25 years of experience placing annuities for retirees nationwide and compares products across dozens of carriers — not just one company's lineup. Use the table below to understand how the main annuity types differ, then connect with Jason to find the right fit for your retirement goals.

Annuity Type Principal Protected Growth Potential Guaranteed Income Liquidity Best For
Fixed (MYGA) ✅ Yes Fixed declared rate for the contract term No income rider; accumulation only Limited during surrender period Safe, predictable accumulation
Fixed Indexed (FIA) ✅ Yes Index-linked credits subject to cap or participation rate; no direct market exposure Income rider commonly available Limited during surrender period Growth potential with downside protection
Variable ⚠️ Not by default Direct sub-account (market) exposure; highest upside and downside Income rider available at added cost Limited during surrender period Market participation inside a tax-deferred wrapper
RILA ⚠️ Partial (buffer/floor) Index-linked with defined buffer or floor; more upside than FIA Income rider available on select products Limited during surrender period Moderate risk tolerance; growth-focused
SPIA ✅ Via income stream No accumulation phase; lump sum converts to income immediately ✅ Immediate, guaranteed for life or term Very limited; income stream only Immediate income from a lump sum at or near retirement
Deferred Income (DIA) ✅ Via income stream No accumulation phase; income begins at a future date you select ✅ Guaranteed; income start deferred 2–40 years Very limited before income start date Longevity planning; guaranteed income starting at a future age
QLAC ✅ Via income stream DIA funded with qualified (IRA/401k) dollars; defers RMDs on the portion used ✅ Guaranteed; income begins at advanced age None before income start date RMD reduction strategy; late-life income protection

Note: Product features, rider availability, and surrender terms vary by carrier and contract. An independent broker can compare specific products across multiple carriers to identify the structure that best fits your situation — without being limited to a single company's lineup.
