    Tools for your practice

    Innovative tools to amplify your practice

    You support your client’s journey toward financial freedom,  Jackson provides the tools to assist you. Our suite of tools can also highlight the value of annuities to prospective clients.

    Annuities are long-term, tax-deferred vehicles designed for retirement. Variable annuities involve investment risks and may lose value. Earnings are taxable as ordinary income when distributed. Individuals may be subject to a 10% additional tax for withdrawals before age 59½ unless an exception to the tax is met. Add-on living benefits are available for an extra charge in addition to the ongoing fees and expenses of the variable annuity and may be subject to conditions and limitations.

    Tools you can access now

    From planning your client's first steps toward retirement, our tools are designed to help you guide your clients each step of the way.

    Tax advantages of annuities

    Deposits into an annuity are tax-deferred*, which can have a dramatic effect on the growth of an investment. Use this calculator to compare your client's tax advantages of purchasing an annuity versus an investment account where the interest is taxed each year.

    Compare a taxable investment to a tax-deferred investment

    Tax-deferral* can have a dramatic effect on the accumulation and withdrawal amounts of an investment. This analysis will help to compare the accumulation values and after-tax withdrawals of an investment subject to income tax each year versus deferring the tax until withdrawals occur.

    Compare Your Options

    *Tax deferral offers no additional value if an annuity is used to fund a qualified plan, such as a 401(k) or IRA, and may be found at a lower cost in other investment products. It also may not be available if the annuity is owned by a “non-natural person” such as a corporation or certain types of trusts.
