Built for Keeping Illustration and Policy Aligned

Most carriers run separate vendors for the separate jobs, which means a product configured in one system has to be reconfigured in another. And when they disagree, someone has to find out why.

Forecast is CalcFocus’s annuity illustration software — illustration and quoting for individual and group products, modeled to your exact rules. It runs on the same shared product engine as Achieve, CalcFocus’s policy administration system, so the illustration and policy are always aligned.

From First Pitch to In-Force Check-In, On One Engine

Needs Analysis

Forecast helps you optimize life insurance needs and retirement liquidation, model capital accumulation against a client’s risk tolerance, and surface upsell and cross-sell opportunities from data you already have. 

No separate analytics tool required.

Sales Illustration

Present projected values in intuitive graphics, run Monte Carlo and stochastic analysis against inflation and market scenarios, and base every recommendation on your client’s actual risk tolerance, age, and financial status. 

Quotes flow directly to consumer sales portals, agency systems, and carrier websites, so every early sales touchpoint pulls the same numbers.

Smart Annual Statement & Re-Proposal

In-force isn’t a mailer you send once a year and forget. Forecast detects a policy drifting toward lapse and proposes a fix — a face decrease, a premium increase — before it becomes a problem. And it catches guideline-limit scenarios that would otherwise cause a lapse nobody saw coming. 

The result: consistent policy information from quote to claim.

Insurance Illustration Software for Complex Products

Forecast already handles what most illustration platforms can’t: 

  • Indexed Universal Life with multi-index crediting, Variable Universal Life, combination life plus long-term care, and Private Placement Life Insurance and Variable Annuities 
  • RILA, Fixed Indexed Annuities, Guaranteed Lifetime Withdrawal Benefits, and Variable SPIA 

On the group side, the same engine handles Group Term, Whole and Interest-Sensitive Whole Life, Group Universal Life, and Group Annuities.

Purpose-built for every conversation.

Get one platform that supports individual and group, life, annuity, and accident & health. Instead of separate tools stitched together.

Smarter statements, stronger retention.

Forecast turns in-force from a reactive mailer into a proactive save, catching lapses before they happen.

Built to handle every product.

From Term and Whole Life to Indexed and Variable Universal Life, annuities, and group business, Forecast supports what you actually sell.

Modern tech that moves with you.

Cloud-based, mobile-ready, and built for compliance-ready visuals your advisors can hand a client.

One Census Pass, Individual-Level Premiums, Every Life

Forecast’s group quoting returns individual-level premiums for thousands of lives in a single census pass — a capability most individual-only illustration tools simply don’t have, and central to how CalcFocus supports carriers moving into group benefits.

Runs On The Same Engine As Your Policy Admin System

Forecast, Achieve, and Curate share one product engine, so the illustration and the policy agree by definition. And Forecast’s in-force illustrations and lapse alerts work on any administration system — not only Achieve — for carriers who want CalcFocus’s illustration depth without a full core replacement.

Frequently Asked Questions About Annuity Illustration Software

What is illustration and quoting software?

Illustration and quoting software models how a life insurance or annuity product will perform over time, for a client review or at the point of sale. Forecast is CalcFocus’s illustration and quoting software: it runs on the same shared product engine as Achieve, CalcFocus’s policy administration system, so a product’s rules are defined once and an illustration always matches the policy it becomes.

Which illustration software supports complex products like IUL, VUL, and private placement life insurance (PPLI)?

Forecast models product types many illustration platforms can’t: Indexed Universal Life with multi-index crediting, Variable Universal Life, and Private Placement Life Insurance and Variable Annuities — all live in production today, not on a roadmap. Combination life plus long-term care products run on the same engine.

What annuity illustration software can model RILA, FIA, and GLWB products?

On the annuity side, Forecast supports Registered Index-Linked Annuities, Fixed Indexed Annuities, Guaranteed Lifetime Withdrawal Benefits, and Variable SPIA — available today for carriers entering these fast-growing annuity lines, not held back for a future release. It runs on the same product engine behind every illustration Forecast generates, so an illustrated annuity and the one later serviced start from the same definition.

How does Forecast prevent a policy from drifting toward lapse?

In-force isn’t a mailer sent once a year and filed away. Forecast checks a policy’s performance against its original assumptions and flags one drifting toward lapse — proposing a fix like a face decrease or a premium increase — and catches guideline-limit scenarios that would otherwise cause a lapse nobody saw coming.
