Guaranteed lifetime withdrawal rates
Annual withdrawal benefit is determined by your age and how long you've owned the contract—the longer you wait to take your lifetime withdrawal benefit amount, the higher your lifetime income will be.3

59½–64 | 5.40% | 4.90% |
65–69 | 6.15% | 5.85% |

Calculating lifetime income for a 60-year-old couple
This example shows the potential lifetime income a 60-year-old couple could generate starting at different ages. The initial purchase amount of $100,000 at age 60, establishes the income base which is used to calculate the withdrawal benefit and has no cash value. The income base will increase by a guaranteed 5% on each contract anniversary for the first 10 years, or until lifetime income withdrawals begin, whichever comes first. Typically, the longer you wait to take income the higher the withdrawal rate will be. Since income is calculated by multiplying the income base by the withdrawal rate, the longer you defer, the higher your potential income may be.
