Introduction
Suppose at the age of [latex]21[/latex], you took [latex]\$50,000[/latex] and invested it into an RRSP. You leave the money in the RRSP and do not make any further contributions to the RRSP. When you retire in [latex]40[/latex] years, you will take the accumulated money in the RRSP to provide you with monthly payments for [latex]20[/latex] years during your retirement. During the [latex]40[/latex] years leading up to your retirement, the [latex]\$50,000[/latex] you invested at age [latex]21[/latex] is left to earn interest, with no payments or withdrawals occurring during that time. The payments begin after this [latex]40[/latex] year period of interest. This is an example of a deferred annuity, where the payments begin after an extended period of time.
What is a Deferred Annuity?
Adeferred annuity is a financial transaction where annuity payments are delayed until a certain period of time has elapsed. Usually the annuity has two stages, as depicted in this figure.
Image Description
The image is a horizontal timeline visualizing two stages: the Accumulation Stage and the Payment Stage. The timeline starts on the left with a single payment invested and extends to the right to the end of the annuity. It is divided into two main sections by a vertical marker labeled “Maturity Amount of Single Payment = Principle for Annuity”. The portion before the vertical marker represents the “Accumulation Stage” and is labeled accordingly with a yellow box containing the text “Accumulation Stage” below this part of the timeline. The portion after the vertical marker represents the “Payment Stage” and is similarly labeled with a yellow box containing the text “Payment Stage” below this part of the timeline. The distinction between these two stages is indicated by an arrowed bracket that spans across showing the “Deferral Period.”
- Accumulation Stage: A single payment is allowed to earn interest for a specified duration. There are no annuity payments during this period of time, which is commonly referred to as the period of deferral.
- Payment Stage: The annuity takes the form of any of the four annuity types and starts at the beginning of this stage as per the financial contract. Note that the maturity value of the accumulation stage is the same as the principal for the payments stage.
Working with Deferred Annuities
For deferred annuities, the most common unknown variables are either the present value, the length of the period of deferral, the annuity payment amount, or the number of annuity payments that are sustainable for a fixed income payment. Follow this sequence of steps for each of these variables.
Solving for the Present Value | Solving for the Period of Deferral | Solving for the Annuity Payment | Solving for the Number of Annuity Payments | |
Step 1 | Draw a timeline. Identify the known quantities. Identify the locations of the present value of the annuity and the first payment and place the corresponding times on the timeline. | |||
Step 2 | Starting at the end of your timeline, calculate the present value of the annuity. | Starting at the beginning of the timeline, calculate the future value at the end of the period of deferral. | ||
Step 3 | Calculate the present value at the start of the period of deferral. | Calculate the number of compounding periods and convert to years and months. | Calculate the annuity payment. | Calculate the number of annuity payments and convert to years and months. |
Things to Watch Out For
- It is an error to treat the period of deferral and the term of the annuity as simultaneous time periods. For example, if a deferred annuity has a three-year period of deferral and a [latex]10-[/latex]year annuity term, this is sometimes interpreted, mistakenly, as an annuity ending [latex]10[/latex] years from today. These time segments are separate and consecutive on the timeline! The correct interpretation is that the annuity term ends [latex]13[/latex] years from today, since the [latex]10-[/latex]year term does not start until the three-year deferral terminates.
- A common mistake is to incorrectly determine when the period of deferral ends and the annuity starts. This error usually results from forgetting that the payments on ordinary annuities start one payment interval after the annuity starts, whereas annuity due payments start immediately. Thus, if the first quarterly payment on an ordinary annuity is to be paid [latex]6[/latex] years from today, then the period of deferral is [latex]5[/latex] years and [latex]9[/latex] months. If the deferral is for an annuity due, then the period of deferral is [latex]6[/latex] years.
Example 2.7.1
You borrow [latex]\$10,000[/latex] for your business to purchase new computer software. The loan agreement requires you make quarterly payments for [latex]5[/latex] years at [latex]3\%[/latex] compounded quarterly. The first loan payment is due in [latex]2[/latex] years. Calculate the size of the quarterly loan payments.
Solution
Step 1: Draw the timeline for the deferred annuity. Because the payment setting is not specified, the payments occur at the end of the payment interval.
Image Description
The image depicts a financial timeline illustrating the breakdown of an investment over different time periods. The timeline is as follows:
- The total payment duration is 5 years, indicated by a long horizontal line at the top labeled “5 years”.
- Beneath this, there is a shorter horizontal line representing a period of “2 years”.
- Within these 2 years, a segment of “1 year 9 months” is highlighted, labeled “Interest”.
- Following this is a “3 months” segment, marked as “1st PMT (First Payment)”.
- The timeline ends at the 5-year mark, labeled “Annuity (END) PMT=?”, which signifies the end of the annuity period and the payment amount to be determined.
- At the start of the timeline, there is an initial investment amount of “$10,000”.
- Throughout the timeline, several financial terms are mentioned, including “PV of Annuity” (Present Value of Annuity), “FV of Interest” (Future Value of Interest).
- The timeline concludes with “$0” at the end, indicating the final value.
Some notes about the timeline.
- The [latex]\$10,000[/latex] is the present value at the start of the interest period.
- There is a [latex]2[/latex] year time gap between the start of the interest period and first payment. Because the payments are at the end of the payment interval, the first payment does NOT occur at the same time as the present value of the annuity, which occurs at the beginning of the first payment interval.
- Because the payments are at the end of the payment interval, the present value of the annuity occurs one payment interval before the first payment. The payments are quarterly (or [latex]3[/latex] months), so the present value of the annuity occurs [latex]3[/latex] months before the first payment.
- The [latex]\$10,000[/latex] at the start of the interest period must be moved (with a future value calculation) to the location of the present value of the annuity. Because the present value of the annuity occurs [latex]3[/latex] months before the first payment and it is [latex]2[/latex] years from the start of the interest period to the first payment, the [latex]\$10,000[/latex] must move [latex]1[/latex] year and [latex]9[/latex] months ([latex]2[/latex] years minus [latex]3[/latex] months) to get the location of the present value of the annuity.
- The payments for the annuity last for [latex]5[/latex] years.
Step 2: Calculate the future value of the [latex]\$10,000[/latex]. As noted above, the [latex]\$10,000[/latex] must move to the location of the present value of the annuity, which is [latex]1[/latex] year and [latex]9[/latex] months from the start of the timeline.

Step 4: Write as a statement.
Your quarterly loan payments are [latex]\$569.32[/latex].
As you can see with the previous example, sometimes adjustments need to be made to the timing of the period of deferral, depending on the wording of the question and the type of annuity. Because the previous question was an ordinary annuity (payments at the end of the interval) and the timing for the period of deferral was to the first payment, we had to adjust the timing of the interest period so that the money was moved to the location that corresponded to the present value of the annuity.
We are going to do the previous example again, but this time we will treat the annuity as an annuity due (payments at the beginning of the interval). We will do this despite the wording in the question which implies that the annuity has payments at the end of the interval.
Example 2.7.2
You borrow [latex]\$10,000[/latex] for your business to purchase new computer software. The loan agreement requires you make quarterly payments for [latex]5[/latex] years at [latex]3\%[/latex] compounded quarterly. The first loan payment is due in [latex]2[/latex] years. Calculate the size of the quarterly loan payments.
Solution
Step 1: Draw the timeline for the deferred annuity. Treat the annuity as an annuity due with the payments at the beginning of the interval.
Image Description
This is a timeline diagram illustrating a financial calculation. The timeline is divided into two segments. The first segment spans 2 years and is labeled “Interest”. The second segment spans 5 years and is labeled “Annuity (BGN)”. At the start of the timeline, there is a value of $10,000. At the end of the timeline, the value is $0. The timeline highlights important points such as “PV of Annuity,” “FV of Interest,” and “1st PMT” at the 2-year mark. The final point on the timeline is labeled “PMT = ?”.
Some notes about the timeline.
- The [latex]\$10,000[/latex] is the present value at the start of the interest period.
- Because the payments are at the beginning of the payment interval, the present value of the annuity and the first payment occur at the same time, at the start of the annuity. Note that this eliminates the gap between the present value of the annuity and the first payment seen in the previous example.
- The [latex]\$10,000[/latex] at the start of the interest period must be moved (with a future value calculation) to the location of the present value of the annuity. Because the present value of the annuity occurs at the time of the first payment, the [latex]\$10,000[/latex] must move [latex]2[/latex] years to get the location of the present value of the annuity.
- The payments for the annuity last for [latex]5[/latex] years.
Step 2: Calculate the future value of the [latex]\$10,000[/latex]. As noted above, the [latex]\$10,000[/latex] must move to the location of the present value of the annuity, which is [latex]2[/latex] years from the start of the timeline.

[latex]PMT=\$569.32[/latex]
Step 4: Write as a statement.
Your quarterly loan payments are [latex]\$569.32[/latex].
Note: Treating the annuity as an annuity due (payments at the beginning of the interval) had no impact on the final answer. But, by treating the annuity as an annuity due, we eliminated the time adjustments required in the first example to get the future value of the interest aligned with the timing of the present value of the annuity. You can always treat a deferred annuity as an annuity due, regardless of the information in the question.
Paths to Success
You can treat any deferred annuity as an ordinary deferred annuity or a deferred annuity due. Regardless of the approach, you will get the same final answer, provided you make the correct adjustments based on your approach. However, it is much easier to treat any deferred annuity as a deferred annuity due (payments at the beginning of the interval). The deferred annuity due approach lines up the future value of the interest, the present value of the annuity and the first payment at the same moment in time, which eliminates any time adjustments to the period of deferral.

Example 2.7.3
You want to invest some money today to help fund your retirement. When you retire, you want to receive [latex]\$5,000[/latex] at the end of every month for [latex]15[/latex] years. You want to receive your first payment in [latex]20[/latex] years. If your retirement fund earns interest at [latex]5\%[/latex] compounded semi-annually, how much money do you need to invest?
Solution
Step 1: Draw the timeline for the deferred annuity. Using the trick identified above, treat the annuity as an annuity due with the payments at the beginning of the interval (despite the wording in the question that identifies the payments at the end of the interval).
Image Description
The image contains a horizontal timeline divided into two main segments represented by horizontal lines.
- The first segment spans 20 years and is labeled “Interest.” Below this segment, there is text indicating three financial terms: “PV of Annuity,” “FV of Interest,” and “1st PMT.”
- The second segment spans 15 years and is labeled “Annuity (BGN).” At the end of this segment, it is indicated that “PMT=$5,000” will be paid.
Both segments combined indicate a total timeline of 35 years, starting from an unspecified initial point (“?”) to the endpoint marked as “$0.”
Some notes about the timeline.
- The present value at the start of the interest period is unknown.
- Because the payments are at the beginning of the payment interval, the present value of the annuity and the first payment occur at the same time, at the start of the annuity. There is a [latex]20[/latex] year gap from the start of the interest period and the present value of annuity/future value of interest/first payment.
- The [latex]\$5,000[/latex] payments for the annuity last for [latex]15[/latex] years.
- The present value of the annuity becomes the future value of the interest period. Then, the future value of the interest period will be moved back [latex]20[/latex] years to the start of the interest period.
Step 2: Calculate the present value of the annuity.

Solution
Step 1: Draw the timeline for the deferred annuity.
Image Description
The image illustrates a timeline associated with financial calculations for an annuity. The timeline is divided into two primary sections:
The first section starts at the left with an amount of $50,000. This section is labeled “Interest” and extends for an unknown number of years, represented with a “? years” label.
The second section is labeled as “Annuity (BGN)” and spans 10 years. It begins after the first section and ends at the rightmost side of the image at $0. This part of the timeline details an annuity with annual payments (PMT) of $2,500.
Additionally, at the junction where these two sections meet, three financial terms are noted: PV of Annuity, FV of Interest, and 1st PMT.
Some notes about the timeline.
- The [latex]\$50,000[/latex] is at the start of the interest period.
- Because the payments are at the beginning of the payment interval, the present value of the annuity and the first payment occur at the same time, at the start of the annuity.
- The time from the start of the interest period to the present value of the annuity/future value of the interest period/first payment is unknown.
- The [latex]\$2,500[/latex] payments for the annuity last for [latex]10[/latex] years.
Step 2: Calculate the present value of the annuity.

Solution
Step 1: Draw the timeline for the deferred annuity. Treat the annuity as an annuity due with the payments at the beginning of the interval (despite the wording in the question that identifies the payments at the end of the interval).
Image Description
The image is a financial timeline diagram depicting the process of calculating annuities. It consists of two horizontal timelines placed one above the other.
- The top timeline starts with a point marked $25,000 on the left and ends with a point labeled “$0” on the right.
- The timeline is divided into two segments:
- The first segment is 14 years long and is labeled “Interest.”
- The second segment is labeled with “?” years. There is an arrow pointing to the text “$0”.
- In the middle of the image below the 14-year mark, there are three terms stacked vertically:
- PV of Annuity
- FV of Interest
- 1st PMT
Alongside the bottom timeline is the phrase: Annuity (BGN) PMT = $2,300
Some notes about the timeline.
- The [latex]\$25,000[/latex] is at the start of the interest period.
- Because the payments are at the beginning of the payment interval, the present value of the annuity and the first payment occur at the same time, at the start of the annuity. There is a [latex]14[/latex] year gap from the start of the interest period and the present value of annuity/future value of interest/first payment.
- The [latex]\$2,300[/latex] payments for the annuity last for an unknown number of years.
