E N D
CALCULATION OF AGE OF THE LIFE TO BE ASSURED • Risk of death is closely related to the age of the life to be assured. Hence, the age at entry into the contract of insurance becomes the most significant factor to determine premium. Months and days over the completed years of age are not taken as such, but the age to be taken is rounded off to the years in integer may be defined as : (1) Age nearer to the birthday (2) Age on next birthday (3) Age on last birthday • If a person was born 22 years 8 months earlier. Then (1) Age nearer to the birthday is 23 (2) Age on next birthday is 23 (3) Age as on last birthday is 22 • If a person is 22 years 5 months 29 days then the age nearer birthday will be 22 years and if the age is 22 years 5 months 30 days the age nearer birthday will be 23 years.
We will explain this with the help of the following examples: (1) If a person is born on 1/1/1980, then on 1/8/2000 he is 20 years 7 months and 1 day old therefore: (a) his age nearer to his birthday 21 years. (b) his age as per last birthday 20 years. (c) his age as per next birthday 21 years. (2) If a person is born on 1/1/1980, then on 11/4/2000 he is 20 years 3 months and 11 days old therefore: • (a) his age nearer to his birthday 20 years. • (b) his age as per last birthday 20 years. • (c) his age as per next birthday 21 years.
