Life annuity
Life annuitys are periodic payments until the end of the recipient's life. They are bound on the life expectancy of the
pensioner. They are purchased by one-time payments (eg sale of a house
on annuity) or ongoing contributions (deferred annuity). Basis for the
calculation of life annuities are life tables. (Vital statistics of the
population of a country).
A typical example of the life annuity is the sale of a house. The
purchase agreement is, that the buy price is payed only partially (or
not at all). Instead of paying immediately, the buyer has to pay a
certain ammount as a peridoic annuity until the death of the seller.
