This hypothetical example shows simple interest credited at 10% years
1-10 and compound interest at 7%, assuming no withdrawals are taken.

Each year, simple interest is calculated on the original premium amount
less any withdrawals. Interest is not credited on previously accrued interest.
Withdrawals will reduce the Income Base and the base for which simple
interest is calculated. The Income Base is not credited with simple interest
after Lifetime Income Withdrawals have started. Income Base Guaranteed
Simple Interest Rate varies by premium band and state variations may apply.
