1Rates vary by contract. Paycheck refers to the annuity income received in retirement. Guarantees of fixed monthly payments are only associated with TIAA's fixed annuities. TIAA Traditional is a guaranteed insurance contract and not an investment for federal securities law purposes. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Rate applies to new contributions to TIAA Traditional within TIAA IRAs and Investment Solutions (IS) IRAs. The rates TIAA credits are quoted as effective annual rates with interest compounded daily. Crediting rate may fluctuate based on the contribution month. New money allocated to TIAA Traditional will receive the rate for the month in which the contribution is made. New money is defined as any contribution made to TIAA Traditional within an existing or new TIAA IRA or IS IRA. This includes dollars reallocated from another investment into TIAA Traditional as well as transfers, rollovers and contributions.

2Income limitations may apply and withdrawals are taxed upon distribution.

3Withdrawals of earnings prior to age 59½ are subject to ordinary income tax and a 10% penalty may apply. Earnings can be distributed tax free if distribution is no earlier than five years after contributions were first made and you meet at least one of the following conditions: age 59½ or older or permanently disabled. Beneficiaries may receive a distribution in the event of your death.

4Before rolling over or consolidating assets, consider your other options. You may be able to leave money in your current plan, withdraw cash or roll over the assets to your new employer's plan if one is available and rollovers are permitted. Compare the differences in investment options, services, fees and expenses, withdrawal options, required minimum distributions, other plan features, and tax treatment.
