This calculator shows how the EliteDesigns II Fixed Period Annuity Option may allow you to treat part of your annuity payment as a non-taxable return of the cost basis. With this option, you can choose to receive annuity payments for a fixed period of time, ranging from 5 to 30 years. This calculator is designed for non-qualified EliteDesigns II Variable Annuity contracts. If you have a qualified contract, you may not find this calculator helpful, as the tax treatment of withdrawals and annuity payments from a qualified contract will differ from what is shown in this calculator. Keep in mind this is one of a number of annuity options available under the EliteDesigns II Variable Annuity. You should discuss with your financial professional which annuity option may be best for your financial situation.

To understand how different tax rates and assumed rates of return impact the amount of the annuity payment you may treat as a non-taxable return of the cost basis, you should consider running multiple scenarios with this tool. This calculator assumes the first annuity payment begins on the day this calculation was run. You should also read “About this Tool” in the disclosures for more details.

About this Tool

This tool assumes the information you input and the following:

The Contract Value increases daily, during the fixed period you selected, by the Assumed Rate of Return you input.
The tax rate you entered is applicable during the entire fixed period.
Payments are received after age 59½ and therefore no penalty tax is applicable.
It is likely many of these factors will differ from the assumptions used in this tool. Your actual tax impact will be based upon:
The increase or decrease in your Contract Value, which will be based on the performance of the Underlying Funds selected by you.
Your actual Contract Value as of the Annuity Payment Start Date.
The actual Cost Basis in your annuity contract as of the Annuity Payment Start Date.
The actual federal tax rate applicable to you in the year of any payment received and any applicable state and local taxes.
The actual tax laws and regulations applicable at the time you receive annuity payments.
