I expected as much.

This plan is not really an annuity. It's a classic defined benefit pension
except the employer shifts part of the plan's cost to the employee. That
money deducted from the paycheck is not the employee's; it's the property of
the plan. You might almost track it like social security taxes; that's the
model in use. Create a non-deductible tax (because that's what it amounts
to) so it won't mess up your tax software.

Account for the pension payments by self-calculating the income and
inserting into the Lifetime planner.

I can't think of any way to model that in Money's Lifetime Planner, except
for you to estimated income and enter that as 'Other income'.

Does it have any cash value before retirement?

In terms of modeling it in a paycheck, I'd simply record it as a transfer to
an off-budget account. Open a "bank" account and simply deposit it there.

Perhaps other respondents may have a better idea.

Describe the cash flow of the annuity.

I am trying to get my paycheck set up in Money to account for a retirement
anuity. I have looked at the options in the version of Money (2004) that I am
using and have not come up with a good option. Is there a good way to account
for a retirement anuity in Money and if so what is it.
