ACGA Rates Remain Well Below NY Maximum Annuity Rates

Written by Bill Laskin | July 24, 2024

New York has announced its maximum one-life annuity rates applicable to immediate gift annuities issued to New York donors from July 1, 2024 through December 31, 2024. All these rates remain well above the corresponding maximum annuity rates suggested by the American Council on Gift Annuities (ACGA). New York does not publish its maximum annuity rates for two-life immediate gift annuities, nor for one-life or two-life deferred gift annuities. However, PG Calc is able to compute these New York maximum rates ourselves, and we have spot-checked these rates over a range of typical ages and deferral periods. In every case, the NY maximum rate is well above the corresponding ACGA rate.

All of the above means charities can offer ACGA rates to all New York donors through at least the end of 2024 without running afoul of New York’s maximums.
