(1) GROSS EARNINGS - Projected using an age-earnings profile based on U.S. Census data, calibrated to broad occupation class, age and current earnings. The use of age-earnings profiles is the standard within the economics literature when it comes to the earnings of an individual over time. In fact, their formulation has been referred to as "the most widely used in economics."

(2) FRINGE BENEFITS - A constant percentage (15.5%) of projected earnings is used by this application, disregarding benefits provided by spouse.

(3) HOUSEHOLD SERVICES - This indicates the average number of hours per week that the individual spends performing household services. This application will assume that the hours the two spouses on average work around the house each are equal, and are between 6 and 14 hours. These hours are converted to dollar values using wage rates for domestic workers.

(4) TAXES & CONSUMPTION - Assumes set rates for taxes. Consumption assumed to be 25% of after-tax income. This application disregards spouse's age difference, any spousal earnings and dependents' consumption.

(5) NET LOSS - The sum of (1), (2), and (3) less (4). This is the projected net contributions if living, but it becomes the net loss after death.

(6) PV OF NET ECONOMIC LOSS - The additional capital required at death, such that the Net Loss following death can be replaced by the family.

Additional assumptions made for this limited analysis:

(1) Economic productivity increases at 1% annually. (2) Inflation is 4% annually. (3) After tax rate of return is 5.3%. (4) No income from sources other than client's salary. (5) No pension loss at death. (6) No additional income at death (such as insurance or social security benefits).

NOTE: The economic loss analysis included in this version of FP+ includes only limited elements of the Ph.D. Life System, and makes a variety of simplifying assumptions. Consequently, the above results do not necessarily represent the actual economic loss to your family from your death, but rather the loss of a representative family with a few of the characteristics of your own. As such, the results of this analysis is not something to which Litigation Analytics would testify.
