Important

• Neither the Régie des rentes du Québec nor your financial institution receives any of the data entered.
• The simulation tool calculates the life income and temporary income you can draw for a given year based on the information that you enter. The income that your financial institution pays to you may be different if:
  • the data used for the calculation is incorrect
  • tax is withheld
  • the terms of your contract include fees.
    
    
• The calculations are made for the current year. They may be made for the following year if the reference rate (calculated using statistics on interest rates) is known.
• Before applying for a temporary income from your financial institution, be sure that your contract includes a temporary income option.
