«Annuité», dans le langage technique comme dans la langue courante, désigne une somme versée annuellement, destinée à constituer un capital ou à éteindre une dette. Il ne faut pas confondre ce terme avec «rente» qui est un revenu qu'on touche annuellement. L'emploi de «annuité» comme équivalent de «annuity» dans le sens anglais de versement périodique servi à une personne en échange d'un capital aliéné, est fautif.
