Your working data
Edit cells directly or import a CSV. Download “Input CSV” for the required column names. Up to 200 rows; scroll the table sideways for additional fields.
Detailed analysis
Exports include all results, regardless of the search filter. The HTML report includes assumptions and source data; use your browser’s Print command for PDF.
Chart shows the first 20 rows; negative values use a warm color. Click table headers to sort.
Compare up to four scenarios
Capture the current inputs, change assumptions and capture again. Scenarios are included in downloaded projects.
What this model includes
Year-only consistency checks, not identity matching or historical proof. Zero death year means unknown; flagged ages are review prompts rather than conclusions.
Import and save safely
CSV imports use your current assumptions. Project files restore assumptions, rows and saved scenarios. No automatic saving: download a project before closing this page. Imports are limited to 10 MiB and 200 rows. Calculations run in your browser; the site’s advertising and analytics follow its privacy policy.
