Formula:
The calculation for a simple lottery annuity involves dividing the total pre-tax annuity amount by the number of annual payments, then applying relevant tax rates.
- Annual Pre-Tax Payment = Total Annuity Payout / Number of Annual Payments
- Annual After-Tax Payment = Annual Pre-Tax Payment × (1 - Federal Tax Rate/100) × (1 - State Tax Rate/100)
- Total After-Tax Payout = Annual After-Tax Payment × Number of Annual Payments
