Mortality Tables - very useful program

[mwyatt]

Was looking for a fairly ancient mortality table over the weekend on a takeover case and remembered to check the SOA website. The new version of Table Manager contains hundreds of mortality tables (you can select the country of choice so you're not wading through foreign tables) and also has an Excel add-in. Here's the link:

No connection to the author, but highly recommend this to all. Hope this is of help.

This link no longer works. I am looking for the GAR 94 annuity factors (age 65, 50% male/50% female). Can't seem to find it on the SOA website. Does someone have this in EXCEL that they could e-mail? Pax?

Table Manager

I think that this is the updated link.

Thanks for the link, WDIK. It will be very helpful, except...it doesn't have 1994-GAR. So, I'm still trying to get an immediate annuity factor table and a deferred annuity factor table for that. Anyone?

Try this

Note that what Pax posted is NOT the same as what the original question asked. But then, I suspect that the original question was asking for something different than what he really wanted.

It sounds like what he wanted is what Pax posted. That is a mortality table from the IRS. It is NOT the GAR 94...it is DERIVED from it (removal of loads, projection to a date in the future, and blended sex).

If you use a 50/50 blend of GAR 94 (as the original question asked), it would produce different results.

MGB’s comments are correct. The table I posted above is from IRS Revenue Ruling 2001-62, and is derived from a 1994 table. I assumed that was the nature of wmyer's request, but perhaps that is incorrect.

See the 1995 edition of the Transactions of the Society of Actuaries for these articles:
