Annuity payment rates

Guarantee Length 60 Females 65 Females 60 Males 65 Males
0 0.1078 0.1172 0.1201 0.1330
5 0.1070 0.1155 0.1178 0.1287
10 0.1049 0.1115 0.1127 0.1198

These are the rates from January 1992, which we use in our baseline specification. A rate is per pound annuitized. For example, a 60 year old female who annuitized X pounds and chose a 0 year guarantee will receive a nominal payment of 0.1078X every year until she dies.
