Solve for

Select how the calculation for the final allocation is determined. The options include:

1.Monthly Income with Return of Principal: the final allocation's principal will return to the original value.

2.Defined Ending Balance: the final allocation's principal will calculate.

3.Lifetime Income Rider: the final allocation's balance will be calculated to provide income from a lifetime income rider account. The income will be equal to the income from the other allocations, adjusted by inflation.

4.Final Tier Balance, Declared Initial Income allows the initial allocation's income to be entered. The income for the other allocations will be calculated using the inflation rate(s) (as setup in the Configuration panel). Inflation will be applied to incomes for non-immediate annuities.

5.Final Tier Balance, All Incomes Declared allows the income for each allocation to be entered in the grid near the bottom of the page. When this option is selected, a Required Income column will be displayed in the grid. Inflation is not applied to the value entered for in Required Income column.

6.Current Principal, Declared Initial Income: allows for calculating the current principle where the initial income is declared, and the income of any future allocations, if any, is calculated by the inflation rates.

7.Current Principal, Declared All Incomes: allows for calculating the current principle when the income for all allocations is calculated.

NotesThe remainder of the prompts in the Account Setup section may depend upon the selection of the Solve-For prompt (and other prompts found in this section).
If a calculation can not be completed or there is a data entry problem, an error message will appear at the bottom of the Data tab.
