Ogden multipliers from one set of inputs
Enter the trial date, date of birth, sex and discount rate once. Get every multiplier a schedule of loss needs, laid out the way they are laid out in a schedule, with the table number and the two printed values beside each figure so it can be checked against the Tables.
What it produces
- Pecuniary loss for life — Tables 1 and 2, or Table 36 for an agreed life expectancy
- Loss of earnings to pension age 50, 55, 60, 65, 68, 70, 75 and 80 — Tables 3–18, with Tables A–D reduction factors (or a manual factor) and Table 35 deferment for a loss that starts later
- Loss of earnings to any other retirement age — Additional Tables, or the GAD age-shift interpolation
- Loss of pension from 50 to 80 — Tables 19–34
- Term certain — Table 35 discount factors and Table 36 multipliers for any term
- Any age to any age — Additional Tables with the subtraction method the explanatory notes describe, apportionment where the Additional Tables are not published
- Deferred losses — split by mortality or Table 36 × Table 35
- Repeat purchases — Table A5 replacement and purchase-and-replacement multipliers every 2 to 20 years, for life or between two ages
Who it is for
Personal injury and clinical negligence solicitors, barristers and costs draftsmen preparing or checking schedules and counter-schedules in England and Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. Discount rates from −2% to +3% are available; the current rate of +0.5% is the default.
The arithmetic follows the Government Actuary's Department explanatory notes to the 8th edition: linear interpolation between integer ages, Table 36 splitting for impaired lives, the Additional Tables for split periods, Tables A–D to age 54 only. It is checked against the worked examples in those notes.
