Human-Life Value Calculation…
Step One:
In this step present value of Future gross earning must be calculated. To calculate this you need following parameters.
Return expected from Death Received = R
Salary Growth rate expected = G
Number of years expected to work = N
Present Year Gross Salary = PMT
Real Rate of Return = I
Formula for Real rate of return Formula = (1+R)/(1+G)-1
This Real Rate of Return can be calculated
By using Return from death claim(R) and Salary Growth(G).
After this by entering the values in the below formula in excel, we get Present value of future earnings of your income.
Step 2
In this step, Present value future taxes and self-living expenses of you must be calculated. For this calculation few parameters required.
They are..
Real Rate of Return = (1+r)/(1+g) – 1
Here r- means return expected from death claim received and g- means growth rate expected of taxes and self expenses.
Number of years expected to work = N
Present year Taxes and expenses = PMT
Present Value of Future taxes and self expenses can be calculated by entering the values in the same formula we used in excel earlier in the 1st step.
Step 3)
Subtract the Value arrived in step 2) from the value in step 1), you will get your economic value today.

Human-Life Value Calculation Example
A single mother, aged 33, earns Rs. 7.5 lakh p.a. out of which taxes and self-expenses account for Rs. 1.5 lakh p.a, and her salary is expected to rise 10% p.a.
Whereas taxes and personal expenses are likely to rise by 6% p.a, and she expects to work till 58 years, what economic value can you enumerate on her life, if she is confident of getting a return of 9% p.a. from investments?
Solution:
Current gross earnings 750,000 Rs.
The rate of increment of gross earnings 10% p.a.
Current taxes and expenses 150,000 Rs.
rate of increment of taxes and expenses 6% p.a.
The rate of return from investing 9% p.a.
Current age 33 years
Expected earnings potential upto 58 years
PV of gross earnings, discounted at growth rate 20,967,027 Rs. PV((1+9%)/(1+10%)-1,58-33,-750000,0,1)
PV of taxes/expenses, discounted at growth rate 2,737,432 Rs. PV((1+9%)/(1+6%)-1,58-33,-150000,0,1)
PV of net earnings 18,229,596 Rs. 20967027-2737432
