Whole Life Annuity Payments
A whole life annuity is an annuity that makes regular payments to a person (the annuitant) for as long as he or she lives.
It is equivalent to a series of pure endowments payable at the end of 1, 2, 3, ... years and terminating with the death of the annuitant.
An ordinary whole life annuity is an annuity that makes payments at the end of each interval.
A whole life annuity due is an annuity that makes payments at the end of each interval.
A deferred whole life annuity is an annuity in which payments start after a certain amount of time.
The Whole Life Annuity Payments calculation calculates the expected lifelong series of annual, semiannual, quarterly or monthly payments for a given net single premium.
