Methodology
How the income-target snapshot is built
Exact inputs. Premium, age, deferral, state, sex, and life type are matched with current CANNEX FIA income data delivered through AdvisorWorld. Every displayed product must have current details that identify it as an FIA. Conflicting, incomplete, or invalid products are not shown.
Current rider income stays separate. Every card displays its own current first-year monthly and annual FIA rider income estimate before any target arithmetic. The page does not infer a benefit base, apply a generic roll-up, or multiply premium by a headline withdrawal rate.
Visitor hypotheses. The monthly income target and other monthly income are visitor-entered hypothetical inputs. Combined monthly amount = current FIA rider income estimate + hypothetical other income. Gap = max(target − combined, 0). Surplus = max(combined − target, 0). Coverage = combined ÷ target × 100.
Limited scope. The result is an income-target gap snapshot, not a holistic retirement-readiness score, plan-success probability, quote, carrier illustration, recommendation, or proof that any visitor-entered other income is guaranteed.
Fees and guarantees. A disclosed rider fee is shown beside its source income result; a source-null fee says “Not disclosed,” never 0%. Any contract guarantee depends on the issuing insurer’s claims-paying ability and contract conditions.
Updates and source date. Income results are checked for updates at least daily, while current FIA product details are checked more frequently. The visible as-of date comes only from the verified date supplied with the source data.
