Abstract

We will present an R script for simulating a large number of whole life single annuity premiums prices for an insurance company, and to produce projected annual profits for the company. The program uses mortality data from the Society of Actuaries to create a life table which will calculate the annuity expected present value for given ages. The program accepts user input of a starting age range, maturity age, monthly annuity benefit, interest rate, number of policy holder lifetimes to generate, number of company years to simulate, and an ROI interest rate. Using the life table data and user input, the program creates a simulated number of policy holders’ lifetimes with random starting and death ages and their calculated premiums. This program also simulates a profit for a projected number of years to measure the insurance company’s annual profit. Several graphs and tables are produced to help illustrate these calculations. The calculations and design of this program were advised by Dr. Chin-Mei Chueh, actuarial science professor and Society of Actuaries council member, and Dr. Donald Davendra, computer science professor.
