More from Chambers 1908[edit]
- certain annuity: one for a fixed term of years, subject to no contingency whatever.
- contingent annuity: one that depends also on the continuance of some status, as the life of a person whose duration is calculated by the theory of probabilities.
- An annuity is usually held payable to the end of each year survived; but when, in addition, a proportion of the year's annuity is payable up to the day of death, the annuity is said to be complete; the ordinary annuity being sometimes, for distinction, referred to as a curtate annuity. When the first payment is due in advance, the annuity is known as an annuity due; when the first payment is not to be made until the expiry of a certain number of years, it is called a deferred or reversionary annuity.
