PVSLGAM83

PVSLGAM83 calculates the present value of a single life annuity based on assumptions for interest and the values for the following parameters:

·        MortalityTable = 1983 Group Annuity Mortality Table = “GAM83M” or “GAM83F” depending on what is entered for Sex.

·        Frequency = 12 (monthly)

·        COLA = 0 (no COLA)

·        CalculationMethod = 0 (interpolation on whole ages)

·        NoPreRetMort = 0 (use pre-retirement mortality)

·        StopAge = 0 (continue to end of table)

·        AnnTiming = 0 (beginning of period)

·        YrsCertOption = 0  (interpolation on whole years)

Syntax

PVSLGAM83(CurrentAge, CommencementAge, InterestRate, Sex, [YearsCertain])

Parameter Name

Description

CurrentAge

Current age of the annuitant (i.e. the age at the valuation date). May be provided as an integer, or as a fractional amount (e.g. years & months).

CommencementAge

Age of annuitant at benefit commencement.

·       If CommencementAge > CurrentAge then it will be valued as a deferred annuity.

·       If CommencementAge is missing or zero, then CommencementAge is assumed to be = CurrentAge and it will be valued as an immediate annuity

InterestRate

The interest rate(s) to discount future payments to calculate the present value. May be a number, a percentage, a text string, a named range, or reference to a range.

·       Rates can be defined using these interest definitions.

·       Note: A value that is greater than 25% (i.e. 0.25) will be divided by 100; e.g. if you enter 2.75 it will be treated as .0275 or 2.75%.

Sex

“m” or “f”

YearsCertain

Number of years guaranteed payments. May be an integer, or a factional amount (e.g. years & months).
Optional, default = 0
