SPIA rate lock?
I am within the course of of buying a SPIA. Quotes have a “price lock,” however once I have a look at the quotes I do not see an rate of interest per se. The one factor I see is an “Revenue as % of Premium” price. Is that the speed I’m locking in?

Whereas I’m inclined to imagine that that is what’s being locked, your query will be answered by the annuity dealer and by studying the phrases/contract, not by somebody unfamiliar with the product.
Re: SPIA rate lock?
Though it actually will be of curiosity to know the rate of interest being utilized in calculation of a SPIA payout, in one other sense it’s irrelevant. You immediately evaluate SPIAs on the premise of the payout price, which incorporates your principal, the rate of interest, and mortality credit. One quote might have a better inside rate of interest however a decrease payout price as a result of it makes use of a unique life desk than one other quote. All of the components together end in a payout price, which is what you might be buying.

Sure, what you’re locking is the month-to-month cost per $1,000 of premium.
Or, as you set it, the “revenue as % of premium”.

Usually, it’s assumed that the principal could have been absolutely returned on the age of life expectancy from the date/age at which the SPIA is issued. This can be utilized to calculate an rate of interest/yield/return of the SPIA, which is totally different from (and decrease than) the payout price.
