What's the interest rate on my annuity?

{"answer":["If you have an income based annuity, most insurance companies do not publish an interest rate. They only provide you with the income amount.","If you purchase a Fixed Index Annuity, your interest rate is not guaranteed, but it will never be lower than zero. It depends how the index or indices you are tracking perform. An annuity quote will normally show you guaranteed values and hypothetical values based on the past performance of your chosen index."],"reminder":"\Reminder: An annuity's interest rate on the market value side may be less important than the interest rate of the Benefit Base side of the annuity. If your interest on the Benefit Base is guaranteed to rise 5-7% that may be more important than the growth on the market value.
