Calculate in just 30 seconds what your guaranteed monthly income for life can be based on 4 simple questions.

1 All guarantees are based on TIAA’s claims-paying ability. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.

2 Paycheck refers to the annuity income received in retirement.

3 TIAA may share profits with TIAA Traditional Annuity owners through declared additional amounts of interest during accumulation, higher initial annuity income, and through further increases in annuity income benefits during retirement. These additional amounts are not guaranteed beyond the period for which they were declared.

4 TIAA may provide a Loyalty Bonus that is only available when electing lifetime income. The amount of the bonus is discretionary and determined annually.
