NOTES:  
(1) 
Net effective discount rate is the difference between the investment return and the growth in wages.
(2) 
Assumes that the $10,000 annual payment is made at the beginning of the year. To adjust for timing of payments, reduce by the nominal rate of interest for the year,
(3) 
This is only an estimator and does not take into account the time period over which the individual is in the workforce. Therefore, the results will not be exact.
