Assumptions
The principal financial assumptions used by the actuaries to determine the benefit obligation are:
Pension plans
Post-employment
UK US benefits
2012 2011 2012 2011 2012 2011
% % % % % %
Wages and salaries increases 4.5 4.6 4.0 4.0
Pensions increases 3.0 3.1
Discount rate 4.5 4.7 3.5 4.1 3.5 4.1
Inflation rate 3.0 3.1
Healthcare cost trend rate assumed for next year:
Pre 65 (ultimate rate reached in 2021) 9.0 9.5
Post 65 (ultimate rate reached in 2024) 11.8 12.8
Ultimate rate that the cost trend rate trends to 5.0 5.0
Mortality is the most significant demographic assumption. The current assumptions for the UK plan are based on the S1NA tables with long
cohort projections and a 1.25% per annum underpin to future mortality improvements with age rated down by 1.75 years for pensioners and
1.5 years for non-pensioners. In the US, the current assumptions are based on the RP-2000 IRS PPA @ 2013 Non-Annuitant/Annuitant
healthy tables for males and females.
Accordingly, assumed life expectancy at retirement age is as follows:
Pension plans
UK US
2012 2011 2012 2011
Years Years Years Years
Current pensioners at 65a – male 24 24 19 19
– female 27 27 21 21
Future pensioners at 65b – male 27 26 21 21
– female 30 29 22 22
a Relates to assumptions based on longevity (in years) following retirement at the end of the reporting period.
b Relates to assumptions based on longevity (in years) relating to an employee retiring in 2032.
The assumptions allow for expected increases in longevity.
