Fees, surrender charges, and any market value adjustment can reduce what you receive. Read the contract for how charges work in your state.
You usually have to pay a surrender or withdrawal charge if you take some or all of your money out of a deferred annuity during a stated period. Some contracts allow a limited free withdrawal each year (for example, 10% or less of account value).
