Retirees choosing a pension payout face a trade-off: single-life pays 20-30% more but stops at death, while joint-life pays less but protects a surviving spouse. Which option makes sense depends on your family situation and how long you expect to live.
When you are ready to retire, but before you begin your pension payout, you will need to decide if you want benefits paid only to you for as long as you live, known as a single life payout, or to both you and your spouse for as long as you both live, known as a joint life payout. Under the single life payout, your pension check will be 20 to 30% higher. But it ends when you pass on, and your spouse will not keep any of your pension benefit. Under the Joint Life Payout, your pension check will be 20 to 30% smaller, but it will continue to pay your spouse after you're gone. However, if you outlive your spouse, your pension benefit will remain 20 to 30% lower for the rest of your life. So which is the better choice? The maximum single life payout or the reduced joint life payout? What if you could take the maximum single life payout?
