2D to 1D Conversion Tool – Updated for Scale MP-2015

This tool is presented here with permission from Bob Howard.

Bob Howard, a member of RPEC, has developed a spreadsheet-based program that produces a set of one-dimensional mortality improvement factors that when projected generationally with a given set of base mortality rates produces near-term annuity values that closely approximate corresponding annuity values determined using the full two-dimensional Scale MP-2015.  The tool has been updated since the previous release to allow users to input their own customized set of base mortality rates.

NOTE:

The workbook uses macros. Some companies may have technology policies that could disallow access to the workbook.
