The interest rate is an effective annual yield based upon a nominal rate which is compounded daily. Yields assume no additions or withdrawals made during the guaranteed period.
How did we get here? First, we found the total accrued amount (principal + interest), which is A = P + I. Next, interest amount is expressed as I = Prt. Combining these formulas, we get A = P + Prt, which is simplified as A = P(1 + rt).
A MYGA generally provides a higher rate of interest than comparable products. However, any premium placed in a MYGA will be subject to penalty charges that decline over time and possibly a market value adjustment. Carefully consider your liquidity needs before purchasing a multi-year guaranteed annuity, or MYGA.
A MYGA offers a guaranteed interest rate for a certain number of years. Interest compounds and savings grow tax-deferred. Savings grow faster when interest compounds tax deferred — this is the case with a MYGA until earned interest is withdrawn.
