About the income
The amount of income you receive depends on the following factors at the start date of the life annuity:
Prevailing interest rates when the capital amount is received,
The age and gender of the lives insured, and
The product options you’ve chosen, such as a guaranteed income payment term, income growth, additional life cover, etc.
The income is paid monthly until the death of the last life insured or the end of the guaranteed income payment term, whichever occurs last.
Tax and fees
Fees vary per product and will be disclosed upfront on your quotation. Please speak to your Sanlam financial intermediary to make sure that you understand which fees you pay and why.
The income payable to you is taxable. We will deduct it and pay it over to the South African Revenue Service on your behalf.
