    MYGA rates — May 2026

    Multi-Year Guaranteed Annuities (MYGAs) lock in a fixed interest rate for the full contract term — similar to a CD, but issued by an insurance company, grown tax-deferred, and backed by the carrier's claims-paying ability and the Florida Life & Health Insurance Guaranty Association.

    Term Top Rate* Carrier Tier Notes
    2 years 5.00% A / A+ rated Limited carrier availability
    3 years 5.10% A / A+ rated Athene / Oxford Life range
    5 years 5.40% A / A+ rated Most competitive sweet spot
    7 years 5.55% A / A+ rated Longer rate lock, higher commitment
    10 years 5.65% A / A+ rated Pre-retirement accumulation

    Fixed index annuity (FIA) snapshots — May 2026

    FIAs credit interest based on a market index (most often the S&P 500) without putting principal at market risk. The contract limits upside through one of several mechanisms below. The income rider section shows what a separate fee-based rider can guarantee for lifetime income.

    Product Feature Competitive Range* What it means
    S&P 500 Annual Point-to-Point (cap) 9.00–10.50% Cap rate on 1-year crediting term
    S&P 500 Annual Point-to-Point (par) 55–70% Participation rate; no cap
    2-Year Point-to-Point with Spread 1.00–1.75% Spread/asset fee; uncapped upside
    Income Rider Roll-up 7.00–8.50% Simple-interest roll-up on income base
    Lifetime Withdrawal % (age 65, single) 5.50–6.25% Withdrawal % on income base at activation

    *Carrier-survey ranges from major FIA issuers (Athene, F&G, American Equity, Allianz, Nationwide, Lincoln). Specific cap, participation, and roll-up rates vary by product, surrender period, and rider election. Quotes are illustrative — actual contract terms determine the binding values.

    How to read these rates

    • MYGA rate — credited interest, compounded annually for the full surrender period. After the term ends, the rate resets or the contract can be exchanged 1035-style into a new contract without triggering tax.
    • Cap rate — maximum interest credited in a single crediting period (typically 1 year). If the S&P 500 returns 14% and your cap is 10%, you get 10%. If the index drops, your floor is 0%.
    • Participation rate — percentage of the index gain you receive. With a 60% participation rate and a 12% index gain, you get 7.2%.
    • Roll-up rate — guaranteed growth on the income base used to calculate future lifetime income. Roll-up rates apply only to the income base, not to your walk-away cash value.
    • Lifetime withdrawal % — when income is turned on, the percentage of the income base paid each year for life. Higher at older activation ages.

    Frequently asked questions

    How often are these rates updated?
    This page is reviewed and republished monthly. MYGA rates from A or A+ rated carriers move week-to-week; FIA caps and roll-up rates change less often. The 'Last updated' date at the top of the page is the source of truth — if it is more than 30 days old, call for a live quote.
    Are these the highest MYGA rates available in Florida?
    These figures represent competitive rates from A or A+ rated carriers shopped by ACM. Higher rates are sometimes available from B+ or A- rated insurers, but ACM generally limits recommendations to investment-grade carriers for client safety. Top non-investment-grade carriers can offer 50–100 basis points more in exchange for accepting a lower credit rating.
    Why are FIA rates expressed as caps, participation rates, and roll-ups instead of a single percentage?
    Fixed index annuities credit interest based on the performance of a market index, capped or limited in one of several ways. The 'cap' is the maximum interest credited in a given year. The 'participation rate' is the percentage of the index gain credited. The 'roll-up' is a guaranteed growth rate on the income base used to calculate lifetime income — it is not a withdrawal rate. ACM helps Pinellas and Tampa Bay clients compare these structures side-by-side.
    Do these rates apply to The Villages and St. Petersburg specifically?
    MYGA and FIA rates are issued by carriers nationally, not by state — the rate a Florida resident sees is the same as a resident of another state where the carrier is licensed. What does vary by location is the local advisory landscape: ACM serves The Villages, St. Petersburg, Tampa, Clearwater, and the surrounding Pinellas County and Tampa Bay markets directly.
    Can I lock in a quote before rates change?
    Most carriers honor a quoted rate for 30–60 days from the application date as long as the premium funds arrive within the window. For 1035 exchanges and IRA rollovers — which take longer to fund — many carriers offer a rate-lock program. ACM coordinates the paperwork to make sure the higher of the application-date or funding-date rate applies, where the contract allows.
