Source: CANNEX Financial Exchanges via AdvisorWorld, as of August 6, 2026. Rates vary by state, premium band, and issue age. Standard FIA cap, participation, and performance-trigger tables rank recognizable public benchmark indexes only, and only within a single index plus crediting-term cohort. Guarantees are backed by the issuing carrier's claims-paying ability, not FDIC insured.

In context
Today's best MYGA vs. a CD benchmark
A multi-year guaranteed annuity locks a guaranteed rate like a CD, but it is tax-deferred and backed by the issuing insurer rather than FDIC insurance.

FDIC national 60-month CD rate
Benchmark only · not CANNEX · July 2026
CD benchmark source: FDIC national rates via FRED. The displayed MYGA rate is 5.44 percentage points above this benchmark. CDs may be FDIC or NCUA insured when held at eligible institutions and within applicable limits; annuity guarantees are backed by the issuing carrier's claims-paying ability and are not FDIC insured.
Know before you buy
What counts as a good annuity rate?
Rate is not everything
A higher rate from a lower-rated carrier can be a different tradeoff than a lower rate from an A-rated carrier. AM Best is shown with every carrier rate listing.
Match the term
A longer MYGA term can pay more, but it also locks the surrender period longer. Compare terms against your actual timeline.
Read the metric label
Guaranteed rate, cap, participation rate, spread, bonus, and roll-up rate are separate numbers. The tables label the metric, basis, and term.

What is the best annuity rate today?
The best annuity rate depends on product type, term, state, premium band, and carrier rating. This page shows today's top MYGA guaranteed rates and separate S&P 500 1-year FIA cap, participation-rate, and performance-trigger rankings from CANNEX with AM Best ratings and an as-of date.
Why are MYGA rates and FIA caps shown separately?
A MYGA rate is a guaranteed fixed rate for a term. An FIA cap is an index-crediting limit, not a guaranteed yield. They are different metrics and should not be ranked in one column.
Are annuity rates FDIC insured?
No. Annuity guarantees are backed by the issuing insurance carrier's claims-paying ability. The CD benchmark is shown only for context and is not part of the CANNEX annuity data.
Sources and data: all annuity rates are sourced from CANNEX Financial Exchanges via AdvisorWorld, as of August 6, 2026. The CD figure is the FDIC national 60-month CD benchmark via FRED, not a CANNEX rate. Rates vary by state, premium band, and issue age; caps and participation rates can change.
