Annuity

Last reviewed:

Definition: An insurance product that converts a pension pot into a guaranteed income for life or for a fixed term.

Annuity rates depend on your age, health, location, and the options you add (single vs joint life, escalating vs level, guarantee periods). Enhanced annuities pay more if you have qualifying health conditions.
