Ins 2.30 (3m) Application of the 2012 IAR Table
In using the 2012 IAR Table, the mortality rate for a person age x in year (2012 + n) is calculated as follows:
(LRB NOTE: If viewing as an HTML document, a formula in the original is not reproduced here. See the PDF version by clicking the red and white icon in the upper right.)
The resulting qx 2012+n shall be rounded to three decimal places per 1,000, e.g., 0.741 deaths per 1,000. Also, the rounding shall occur according to the formula above, starting at the 2012 period table rate. For example, for a male age 30, qx 2012 = 0.741.
qx 2013 = 0.741 * (1 – 0.010) ^ 1 = 0.73359, which is rounded to 0.734.
qx 2014 = 0.741 * (1 – 0.010) ^ 2 = 0.7262541, which is rounded to 0.726.
A method leading to incorrect rounding would be to calculate qx 2014 as qx 2013 * (1 – 0.010), or 0.734 * 0.99 = 0.727. It is incorrect to use the already rounded qx 2013 to calculate qx 2014.
