The basics

What is a fixed annuity?

A fixed annuity is an insurance contract that locks in a guaranteed interest rate for a set number of years. You hand the carrier a single premium, the carrier credits a fixed rate every year for the duration of the term, and at the end you can renew, annuitize, or take the money out. The rate is contractual: it does not fluctuate with markets, interest-rate moves, or carrier performance.

Compared with a CD, you get a longer locked-in rate (typically 3 to 10 years vs 1 to 5 for a CD) and the growth is tax-deferred until you withdraw. Compared with a fixed index annuity, you trade the chance at higher index-linked credits for an absolute guaranteed return: no caps, no participation rates, just a number you can plan around.

Fixed annuities work best when you want predictability: a known balance at a known date, with no exposure to market movement or interest-rate risk during the term.

Glossary

The terms you'll see on every product page.

Guaranteed rate
The annual interest rate the carrier contractually credits to your account for the duration of the term. Locked in at issue, never changes mid-contract.
MYGA
Multi-Year Guaranteed Annuity. The common name for a fixed annuity that locks in one guaranteed interest rate for the full surrender period.
AM Best rating
An independent grade of an insurer's financial strength. A- or better is considered strong. We surface AM Best ratings on every product.
Tax-deferred growth
Interest earned inside the annuity is not taxed until you withdraw it, letting your balance compound without an annual tax drag.
Premium
The amount you pay the carrier to open the contract. Most fixed annuities accept a single lump-sum premium.

“I had no idea how a fixed annuity actually worked before. This walked me through it in plain English and made the trade-offs really easy to see.”
