INDICATIVE ONLY — This tool provides an approximation based on simplified Solvency II standard formula principles. It is not a substitute for an actuarial SCR calculation, internal model, or regulatory submission. Risk factors, correlation matrices, and diversification credits require actuarial judgement. Consult your appointed actuary and compliance team before using results for regulatory purposes.
