Tax-Deferred Annuities Have Compound Interest and Tax Advantages
A tax-deferred annuity’s value grows by earning interest and delaying income tax payments until you withdraw your earnings. The benefits of compound interest further enhance your money's growth.
The longer your tax-deferred annuity accumulates, the more money you'll enjoy when your planned distributions begin. Once your planned distributions begin, your earnings will be reported to the Internal Revenue Service as taxable income as they are received.
The chart below shows the growth potential of tax-deferred accumulations. Our calculations are based on the following assumptions: initial contribution of $50,000; 6 percent effective yield, compounded annually; 28 percent federal income tax bracket; and no withdrawals or loans.

Interest Guarantees. You can expect to receive a minimum
percentage of interest in your tax-deferred annuity regardless of
the option you select. Our annuities traditionally earn greater interest
than the minimum guaranteed annual percentage. Even if the prevailing
interest rate dips below our established guaranteed interest rate,
Beneficial Financial Group will meet its obligation to pay the guaranteed
interest percentage to you. For a complete understanding of the tax implications of owning an
annuity, we encourage you to consult your tax advisor.
