Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about WikiQuantum
Why are results rounded to the nearest R100?
Because precision to the cent would be misleading. Loss of income calculations rely on long-term assumptions about future inflation, earnings growth, mortality, and discount rates — none of which can be predicted with pinpoint accuracy. A figure like R2,847,312.67 implies a level of certainty that simply doesn't exist. Rounding to the nearest R100 is honest: it signals that this is a well-founded estimate, not an exact measurement. Every actuary knows this. We just make it visible. For more on how these assumptions feed into the calculation, see our guide on how to calculate loss of income.
Do you build other calculators?
Yes — we've built and deployed multiple financial calculators across different industries. Several have been acquired by larger companies who now run them as internal tools. WikiQuantum is the latest in a line of purpose-built analytical tools that we design, build, and bring to market. If you've used a slick financial calculator recently, there's a chance we had something to do with it. Read more about the methodology behind this tool in our RAF quantum guide.
