Project caller LTC daily benefit under explicit simple/compound rider option, rounding compound benefit annually and simple benefit from original base; no premium, adequacy, eligibility or guaranteed future purchasing power.
Description
Simple and compound long-term care (LTC) inflation riders grow different bases.
Simple and compound long-term care (LTC) inflation riders grow different bases. Annual rounding can affect a compound projection over many years.1
The returned values include Caller projected daily benefit minor by year, Caller final daily benefit minor. The How section below explains the calculation, input rules and interpretation.
When to use LTC Inflation Protection Compound Option Calculator
Use LTC Inflation Protection Compound Option Calculator when you need to evaluate the supplied records under the calculation and evidence rules below. No premium projection, eligibility, adequacy or future purchasing-power guarantee is supplied.
Prepare the observed policy, claim or quote evidence and independently verified policy tables. Monetary fields use integer minor units in one currency: for a currency with 100 minor units per major unit, enter 12345 for 123.45. One basis point is 0.01 percentage points, so 10000 basis points represents 100%.
How to use LTC Inflation Protection Compound Option Calculator and understand its results
- Prepare the observed policy, claim or quote evidence and independently verified policy tables. Monetary fields use integer minor units in one currency: for a currency with 100 minor units per major unit, enter 12345 for 123.45. One basis point is 0.01 percentage points, so 10000 basis points represents 100%.
- Enter callerInitialLtcDailyBenefitMinor, callerAnnualInflationBasisPoints, callerProjectionYears, callerInflationIsCompound using the field table and calculation rules, then run the tool.
- Read callerProjectedDailyBenefitMinorByYear, callerFinalDailyBenefitMinor. The explanation below defines the units, signs, ordering and any flags or placeholder values.
- If the tool reports an input issue, correct the values and run it again. Apply the stated assumptions when interpreting a successfully returned result.
| Input field | Meaning | Value type; see rules below | Requirement |
|---|---|---|---|
| callerInitialLtcDailyBenefitMinor | Caller initial ltc daily benefit minor | number | Required |
| callerAnnualInflationBasisPoints | Caller annual inflation basis points | number | Required |
| callerProjectionYears | Caller projection years | number | Required |
| callerInflationIsCompound | Caller inflation is compound | boolean | Required |
Enter integer initial daily benefit 0–10¹², annual basis points 0–10000, years 0–100 and a compound boolean. Return year-zero-through-final benefits and final benefit, using exact monetary rounding and safe-integer checks. Simple growth always uses the original base.
compoundNext=roundMinor(previous×(10000+bps)/10000); simpleYear=roundMinor(initial×(10000+year×bps)/10000) Units, indexing, boundary conditions and exceptional cases are defined in the calculation rules above.
| Output field | Meaning | Value type |
|---|---|---|
| callerProjectedDailyBenefitMinorByYear | Caller projected daily benefit minor by year | list of number |
| callerFinalDailyBenefitMinor | Caller final daily benefit minor | number |

Alternative or Complementary methods
Use LTC Partnership Dollar Protection Lookup: A partnership benefit ledger can support a caller-specified asset-disregard scenario. Verified qualification and a separate cap govern the modeled result. For a complementary task, use Policy Loan Interest Unpaid Accrual Calculator: Unpaid policy-loan interest can capitalize into the next period’s principal. Explicit period rates avoid inferring an APR or day-count convention.
