The American Council on Gift Annuities (ACGA) Board of Directors recently released new payout rate schedules for charitable gift annuities which will take effect on July 1, 2018. The rates will be rising by 0.30% to 0.50% for those ages that typically establish contracts. The chart below compares the old rates to the new rates based on age for a one-life annuity.
Age | Old Rate (%) | New Rate (%) |
65 | 4.7 | 5.1 |
70 | 5.1 | 5.6 |
75 | 5.8 | 6.2 |
80 | 6.8 | 7.3 |
85 | 7.8 | 8.3 |
90+ | 9.0 | 9.5 |
