Formulas in Selling Your Annuities



Businesses linked with financial institutions have been growing since early 1980’s. This growth was said to begun when loan associations and savings in certain strategic places like Ohio, Florida and California start selling annuity business and selling annuity products. The significance of annuity selling is thus discovered and many people eventually engaged in it.

Annuities are assets that offer a safe source of income. It can be acquired as an inheritance, gift or you can purchase it on your own. Selling annuity can be a viable option to have fast cash. You just have to be knowledgeable about the process and relative to it are the formulas used in annuity selling. You must be well-versed about these formulas because you will regularly use this on selling your annuities. These will be very useful for you as a seller because buyers will always have questions about certain annuity computations.

Annuities are priced through the discount rate. You must discount your future payments using the prevailing rate. These discount rates can differ widely from 7% up to 17%; but it can also be larger depending on the buyer. You can receive a lot more for your annuity if your discount rate is lower. Similarly, further out payments can be discounted more; thus you can receive lesser cash at present but your future payments will increase.

Basically, formulas used for selling annuities are similar with those standard financial formulas and symbols. These financial symbols include mathematical variables and symbols. Generally, the symbols to remember and what they stand for are: N as the term in number of periods; g as rate of growth, m as compounding frequency; r or I as the interest rate; CF as cash flow; PMT as the Periodic Payment; FV as Future Value; FVs as Future Value of a single sum; PV as Present Value and j as the jth Period.

Mathematical formulas are also needed to compute the annuity rate. For example if you are computing for the present value of an ordinary annuity, you can just use an ordinary annuity formula. The mathematical equation is the summation of all the present values of the future cash flows.

After the discount rates, the period will come next. In counting for your time period where your annuity will be earning, if the total days accumulated is 120 calendar days (e.g. 30days of four months) and you are paying semi-annually, your regular payment period is 180 days. This is according to a 30/360 day count or equal to 6 months. You can accumulate 60 days worth of interest, that’s 180 days less 120.

If you’re finding it hard to compute the income of your annuity, annuity calculators are available. The present and future values can be computed easily and accurately through this tool. Calculators are available for $35. Be cautious however because different financial calculators works differently.

There is also annuityTable that is offered for calculation of deferred annuities. One example is the PV tables or present value tables. There are also computer softwares for calculating the annuity. MS Excel for instance has simpler and easier formulas for annuity calculation. Websites about annuity computations also abound the internet. One example is Annuity.com

Formulas in selling annuities are very important not only for the buyers but also for sellers. Although there is a presence of computer software, tables, and computers nowadays, it is an essential move to know and be expert with mathematical formulas. These formulas will continuously be relevant as purchases prosper.

Since this is the case, whatever formulas that are very significant must be learned upon and put to mind.
