Deposits into an annuity are not tax-deductible, however you may not have to pay taxes on the interest earned on a tax-deferred annuity until distributions occur. This tax-deferral period can have a dramatic effect on the growth of an investment. Use this calculator to compare the tax advantages of saving in a tax-deferred annuity versus an account where the interest is taxed each year such as a bond.
