In the case of a policy providing an amount of insurance varying with duration of the policy, the equivalent uniform amount thereof for the purpose of this section shall be deemed to be the uniform amount of insurance provided by an otherwise similar policy, containing the same endowment benefit or benefits, if any, issued at the same age and for the same term, the amount of which does not vary with duration and the benefits under which have the same present value at the date of issue as the benefits under the policy, provided that in the case of a policy providing a varying amount of insurance issued on the life of a child under age 10, the equivalent uniform amount may be computed as though the amount of insurance provided by the policy prior to the attainment of age 10 were the amount provided by that policy at age 10.

Except as provided in subsection 6 and in section 2532‑A, all adjusted premiums and present values referred to in sections 2529 to 2534 shall for all policies of ordinary insurance be calculated on the basis of the Commissioners 1958 Standard Ordinary Mortality Table, provided that, for any category of ordinary insurance issued on female risks, adjusted premiums and present values may be calculated according to an age not more than 3 years younger than the actual age of the insured, and those calculations for all policies of industrial insurance shall be made on the basis of the Commissioners 1961 Standard Industrial Mortality Table. All calculations shall be made on the basis of the rate of interest specified in the policy for calculating cash surrender values and paid-up nonforfeiture benefits, provided that that rate of interest shall not exceed 3 1/2% each year, except that a rate of interest not exceeding 4% each year may be used for policies issued on or after December 31, 1975. In calculating the present value of any paid-up term insurance with accompanying pure endowment, if any, offered as a nonforfeiture benefit for ordinary insurance, the rates of mortality assumed may not be more than those shown in the Commissioners 1958 Extended Term Insurance Table and for industrial insurance rates of mortality may not be more than those shown in the Commissioners 1961 Industrial Extended Term Insurance Table. For insurance issued on a substandard basis, the calculation of any such adjusted premiums and present values may be based on such other table of mortality as may be specified by the insurer and approved by the superintendent.

In the case of policies issued on or after January 1, 1980, adjusted premiums and present values for any category of ordinary insurance issued on female risks may be calculated according to an age not more than 6 years younger than the actual age of the insured. All calculations for all policies of ordinary and industrial insurance shall be made on the basis of the rate of interest specified on the policy for calculating cash surrender values and paid-up nonforfeiture benefits, provided that the rate of interest shall not exceed 5 1/2% each year.
