    If the asset - test exempt income stream to which this Subdivision applies is not a defined benefit income stream or a military invalidity pension income stream, the amount that the person is taken to receive from the income stream each year is worked out as follows:

Start formula Annual payment minus start fraction Purchase price over Relevant number end fraction end formula

where:

Example:   Mark is 65 years old and single. He purchases an annuity for $100,000 with a term based on life expectancy (i.e. 15.41 years, which he chooses to round up to 16 years). The annuity has all the revised characteristics listed in the legislation. His annual payment from the annuity totals $9,895. Mark's assessable income from this income stream is:

Start formula $9,895 minus open bracket start fraction $100,000 over 16 years end fraction close bracket equals $3,645 end formula
