Important: This educational model repeats the 2016–2025 S&P 500 annual price-return sequence, excluding dividends. The FIA example applies a 0% floor and the selected annual cap. It assumes the cap never changes and excludes contract charges. Actual FIA outcomes and surrender values may differ substantially. The CD assumes the selected annual rate remains unchanged across all renewals. Neither scenario predicts future results. Taxes, inflation, and withdrawals are excluded.

    Understand the Differences

    CDs and Fixed Indexed Annuities Are Not the Same

    Both may have a place in a savings strategy, but they provide different benefits, protections, and limitations.

    Certificates of Deposit

    • Specified interest for a defined term.
    • Eligible deposits may have federal deposit insurance.
    • Rates may change at renewal.
    • Early withdrawals may trigger penalties.

    Fixed Indexed Annuities

    • Interest may be linked to an external index.
    • Caps and other terms limit credited interest.
    • Not FDIC-insured.
    • Guarantees depend on the issuing insurer.
    • May have surrender charges and withdrawal restrictions.

    American Dream Retirement is not a licensed insurance agency or insurance company. We provide educational and marketing information and connect interested individuals with appropriately licensed professionals.

    This calculator is a hypothetical educational comparison, not a quote, recommendation, forecast, or carrier-approved illustration. Historical returns do not predict future results. No FIA interest rate, cap, or accumulation outcome is guaranteed.

    CDs at eligible insured institutions may qualify for FDIC or NCUA insurance within applicable limits. Fixed indexed annuities are insurance contracts, not bank deposits, and are not FDIC-insured. Guarantees depend on the insurer's claims-paying ability. Review surrender charges, liquidity, tax treatment, and suitability before purchasing.
