PART II
INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE USE OF THE TABLES A.—
CONTRIBUTOR WHO COMMENCED TO CONTRIBUTE
WHILE A BACHELOR I.—
First Wife’s Prospective Pension
The registered pension to be recorded on marriage is
found by adding together the two amounts calculated in
accordance with Rule l(a) and (b) respectively.
(a) Pension in consideration of the
contributions paid during
bachelorhood:
Rule 1(a). Accumulate the
contributions at 8 per cent per annum
compound interest with yearly rests
at each 31st December, and multiply
the results by the quantity found from
table A for the respective ages last
birthday of the husband and wife at
the date of marriage. The product
gives the registered pension on
account of the contributions paid
during bachelorhood.
(b) Pension in consideration of the annual
contribution current at the date of
marriage:
Multiply the amount of the current
annual contribution by the quantity
found from table B for the respective
ages of the husband and wife at the
date of marriage. The product gives
the registered pension on account of
the annual contributions current at
LAWS OF GUYANA
56 Cap. 27:08 Dependants’ Pension
L.R.O. 1/2012
the date of marriage.

Total $569.66

(c) Variations in pension consequent on
increments to and decrements from
the current annual contribution while
the contributor is married to his first
wife:
Multiply the amount of the increment
to, or the decrement from, the current
annual contribution by the quantity
found from table B for the respective
ages last birthday of husband and
wife at the date of the variation of
contribution. The product gives the
amount to be added to the registered

pension consequent on the increment
to, or deducted from it consequent on
the decrement from the annual
contribution.
Cessation of contribution from any
cause before the completion of its full
period must be treated as a decrement
from it equal to its total amount.
EXAMPLE
Assume particulars as in example already given, and continue
as follows:—
annual contribution increased on 31st May, 1930, from
$115.20 to
$144.00, and on 30th April, 1935 from $144.00 to $168.00.

II.—Second and Subsequent Wife’s Prospective Pension
RULE 2
(a) Variations of pension consequent on
increments to and decrements from
the current annual contribution while
the contributor is a widower:
Assume that the contributor to be
married to a wife of the age last
birthday that his last preceding wife
would have reached had she
LAWS OF GUYANA
60 Cap. 27:08 Dependants’ Pension
L.R.O. 1/2012
[6 of 1981]
survived to the date of the variation of
contribution, and proceed in
accordance with rule 1(c).
EXAMPLE
If the particulars be as in the last preceding example, except
that the wife born on 12th August, 1899, died on 30th
November, 1927, it would be assumed that the contributor
was, at the date of each of the three variations of
contributions, married to a wife, still surviving, born on 12th
August, 1899. The calculations would thus be identical with
those in the last preceding example.
(b) Variations of pension consequent on
re-marriage of contributor:
(i) If the second or subsequent
wife was, at the date of the
remarriage, of the same age last
birthday as the last preceding
wife would have reached had
she survived to that date, there
is no change in the pension.
(ii) If the second or subsequent
wife is, at the date of
remarriage, of a less or greater
age last birthday than the last
preceding wife would have
reached had she survived to
that date, multiply the amount
of the registered pension by the
quantity found from table C for
the age last birthday of the
husband at the date of re-
marriage and the age last
birthday which the last
preceding wife would have
attained had she been still
LAWS OF GUYANA
Dependants’ Pension Cap. 27:08 61
L.R.O. 1/2012
surviving; and multiply the
product by the quantity found
from table A for the ages last
birthday of the husband and
second or subsequent wife at
the date of re-marriage.
The result gives the registered pension to be recorded on the
remarriage of the contributor.
EXAMPLE
Assume preliminary particulars as in previous examples and
proceed thus:
first wife died on ......................................... 30th November,
1927;
contributor re-married on .......................... 31st January, 1932;
contributor’s age last birthday at
date of re-marriage .............................. 38;
second wife born on .................................. 30th June, 1901;
second wife’s age last birthday at
date of the re-marriage ......................... 30;
age last birthday which first wife
would have attained had she sur-
vived till date of the re-marriage 32.
1932, January 31st.-The second wife being of a less age next
birthday at the date of the re-marriage than the first wife
would have reached had she survived, the pension of
$659.66 registered as at 31 st May, 1930 (see example for rule 1
(c)) has to be recalculated: quantity found from table C.—
husband 38) 2.797 (for calculation see F.of this part);
wife 32)
quantity found from table A.—
husband 38) 350
LAWS OF GUYANA
62 Cap. 27:08 Dependants’ Pension
L.R.O. 1/2012
wife 30)
$659.66 x 2.797 x .350 = $645.77 = registered pension at 31st
January, 1932 (date of re-
marriage).
(c) Variations of pension consequent on
increments to and decrements from
current annual contribution during
second marriage of contributor:
Proceed as in rule 1 (c),
B.—CONTRIBUTOR WHO COMMENCED TO
CONTRIBUTE WHILE MARRIED
III.—First wife’s prospective pension
In every case of an officer who commenced to contribute
while married, the wife at the date of commencement of
contributions is to be considered as the officer’s first wife, and
no particulars are to be recorded respecting any former wife
to whom he may have been married, unless there be issue of
the former wife of a pensionable age; as to whom see C of this
part, rule 5.
RULE 3
(a) Pension in consideration of the annual
contribution current at the date of
commencement of the contribution:
Multiply the amount of the current
annual contribution by the quantity
found from table B for the respective
ages of husband and wife at the date
of commencement of contributions.
The result is the registered pension
required.

of the children assume that the deceased wife lived until the
date of commencement of contribution and died immediately
afterwards, and proceed in accordance with rule 3(a) and (b).
VI.—Second and subsequent wife’s prospective pension
RULE 6
For the purpose of calculating the registered pension
of the wife assume that the deceased wife survived to the date
of commencement of contribution and died immediately
afterwards; then proceed in accordance with the rules
applicable to the case of officers who commenced to
contribute while married.

D.-CONTRIBUTOR WITH TWO OR MORE
BENEFICIARIES
RULE 7
Where there are children eligible for pension by two
or more deceased wives, or where there is a wife, and there
are also children eligible for pension by one or more previous
marriages, the pension of each beneficiary as found by the
above rules must be divided by the total number of
beneficiaries then existing in order to find the registered
pension of that beneficiary.
N.B.-In applying this rule each group of children of
pensionable age born of one deceased mother must be
reckoned as a single beneficiary.
E.-TREATMENT OF SURRENDER VALUES OF LIFE
ASSURANCE POLICIES PAID OVER TO THE FUND
RULE 8
(a) If the contributor is a bachelor or a
widower with-out children of a
pensionable age, the amount paid
over to the fund should be
accumulated as from date of payment
and treated in accordance with rule I
(a).
(b) If the contributor is married, or a
widower with children of a
pensionable age, the amount paid
should be multiplied by the quantity
found from table A for the respective
ages last birthday of the husband and
wife at the date of the payment. If the
contributor is a widower, assume that
the deceased wife survived until the
LAWS OF GUYANA

L.R.O. 1/2012
said date and died immediately
thereafter.
F.-CALCULATIONS FOR AGES NOT GIVEN IN THE
TABLES
The wife’s age in the tables is given at quinquennial
intervals only. Ages of husbands and wives younger than the
youngest, or older than the oldest, given in the tables are to be
dealt with as if identical with the youngest and oldest there
given respectively.
For the intermediate ages of wives, interpolate by
exact fifths.
EXAMPLES
For table A, husband and wife aged respectively 35
and 27 last birthday .35 and 25 = .359; 35 and 30 = .375.
Difference .016. Add 3 of this to .359. Result .365.
For table B, husband and wife aged respectively 30
and 24 last birthday .30 and 20 = 3.638; 30 and 25 = 3.785.
Difference .147. Add 45 of this to 3.638. Result 3.755.
For table C, husband and wife aged respectively 38
and 32 last birthday .38 and 30 = 2.862; 28 and 35 = 2.699.
Difference .163. Deduct 2 of this from 2.862. Result 2.797.

(Note that the process for table C is subtractive, not
additive.)
