Annuities Resources

Variable annuities aren't for everyone, but the right one can pay off. We rank seven plans by fees, subaccount lineup, and income rider strength.

The right annuity depends on your age, goals, and timeline. We narrow down the best fixed, indexed, and immediate options worth shortlisting.

An immediate annuity starts paying within a year. Our 2026 picks compare monthly payout rates across the top carriers for a $100k deposit.
