Description

CurrentAgeX

Current age of the 1^st insured life 𝑥 (i.e. the age at the valuation date). May be provided as an integer, or as a fractional amount (e.g. years & months). If the age is not a whole number, the result is based on interpolation on results at whole ages.

CurrentAgeY

Current age of the 2^nd insured life 𝑦 (i.e. the age at the valuation date). May be provided as an integer, or as a fractional amount (e.g. years & months). If the age is not a whole number, the result is based on interpolation on results at whole ages.

InterestRate

·       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%.
