American Council on Gift Annuities Recommended Rates
The following rates are effective
July 1, 2010. Prior rates can be seen
on the ACGA's web site:
www.acga-web.org.
Remember that these are maximum rates. Donors can
always request a lower rate, get a bigger charitable
deduction and help their favorite charities even
more.
Single Life WARNING:These annuity rates, for both
immediate and deferred annuities and for both single life and two
lives, should not be used if the gift portion, based on IRS tables
and the applicable discount rate, is not more than 10% of the amount
paid for the annuity.

Notes:
1. The rates are for ages at the nearest birthday.
2. For immediate gift annuities, these rates will result in a charitable deduction of more than 10% if the CMFR is 3.2% or higher, whatever the payment frequency. If the CMFR is less than 3.2%, the deduction will be less than 10% when annuitants are below certain ages.
3. For deferred gift annuities with longer deferral periods, the rates may not pass the 10% test when the CMFR is low.
4. To avoid adverse tax consequences, the charity should reduce the gift annuity rate to whatever level is necessary to generate a charitable deduction in excess of 10%.

F = 1.045d, where
F is the compound interest factor and
d is the deferral period
Example: If the period between the contribution date and the annuity starting date is 14.5760 years, the compound interest factor would be 1.04514.5760 = 1.8995.
4. Multiply the compound interest factor (F) by the immediate
gift annuity rate for the nearest age or ages of a person or persons
at the annuity starting date.
Example: If the sole annuitant will be nearest age 65 on the annuity starting date and the compound interest factor is 1.8995, the deferred gift annuity rate would be 1.8995 x 5.5% = 10.4% (rounded to the nearest tenth of a percent).
The annuity starting date for purposes of calculating the deferred gift annuity rate will be the same as the annuity starting date for calculating the charitable deduction, if payments are at the end of the period (which is usually the case). This was not true with the pre-July 1, 2001 methodology.
An annuitant is credited with compound interest for the entire period from the date of contribution to the annuity starting date. Under the pre-July, 2001 methodology, compound interest was credited only for the number of whole years between the two dates.
Charities issuing deferred gift annuities in New York and New Jersey may need to use a slightly lower compounding rate depending on the deferral period. Information regarding this subject will be posted on the ACGA website (www.acga-web.org) and on the new gift annuity rate sheets.
Through August of 2010,
the following compound interest factors during the deferral period
noted will satisfy the requirements of New York and New Jersey:
For deferral periods of zero to no more than
five years:
Single-life and two-life annuities, whatever
the gender of the annuitants, a compound interest factor of 4.5%.
For deferral periods of more than five years to
no more than 10 years:
Single-life and two-life annuities, whatever
the gender of the annuitants, a compound interest factor of 4.5%.
For deferral periods of more than 10 years to
no more than 20 years:
Single-life and two-life annuities, whatever
the gender of the annuitants, a compound interest factor of 4.5%.
For deferral periods of more than 20 years:
Single-life and two-life annuities, whatever
the gender of the annuitants, a compound interest factor of 4.5%.
The deferred gift annuity rates with the lower
compound interest factor should be acceptable for all ages in New
York and New Jersey. Any changes in this regard will be posted on
the ACGA website and noted on printed rate schedules.
* New York and New Jersey are the two states known at this time that may require different interest factors for deferred gift annuities with longer deferral periods.
One year before the first payment, if payments are made
annually.
Six months before the first payment, if payments are made
semi-annually.
Three months before the first payment, if payments are made
quarterly.
One month before the first payment, if payments are made
monthly.
