Bus/Financial - Accounting
German term or phrase: Eigenberechnung
Die Bewertung der Rückstellungen für Pensionen und ähnliche Verpflichtungen erfolgt zum Barwert der künftigen Verpflichtungen. Die Berechnung wird in der Regel durch einen externen, fachkundigen Gutachter nach versicherungsmathematischen Grundsätzen durchgeführt. Es ist der von der Deutschen Bundesbank veröffentlichte durchschnittlichen Marktzinssatz der vergangenen sieben Jahre zu verwenden, der sich bei einer angenommenen Restlaufzeit von 15 Jahren ergibt (§ 253 Abs. 2 Satz 2 HGB).
Dies gilt auch bei **Eigenberechnung**.

internal calculations
Explanation:
"eigen-" in this context means done by the firm on their own rather than by an external or outside source, such as referred to in the second sentence. So the 3rd sentence is applicable also for calculations done internally. So this is my suggestion!

disagree  pj-ffm: "individual calculations" would imply "Einzelberechnungen". Your suggestion of "calculations carried out by the individual himself" conveys the correct meaning... "disagree" because the proposed answer that may end up in the Kudoz glossary is incorrect!

  -> thanks pj-ffm, and you're right, though if I convey the correct meaning in my repsonse, why the negative rating? Right again, dear pj-ffm. Still though, I must say that any combination entered into the glossary can be changed by the asker. Context ok..
