All fees are subject to VAT.
Fees for consultancies
Fees for consultancies are based on the number of actuaries. The bands and fees for 2022/23 are:
| Category | Number of UK qualified actuaries | Fees for 2022/23 (and 2021/22) |
|---|---|---|
| Large | 250+ | £23,400 (£22,250) + VAT |
| Medium/large | 70-250 | £12,300 (£11,700) + VAT |
| Medium | 20-70 | £9,500 (£9,000) + VAT |
| Small | Up to 20 | £5,250 (£5,000) + VAT |
For consultancies with 15 or fewer UK qualified actuaries (including individuals, operating as ‘one-man consultancies’) there is a ‘per actuary’ fee of £355 + VAT (£335 in 2021/22) per qualified actuary.
Fees for reinsurers
A flat-level fee of £23,400 + VAT applies in 2022/23 (£22,250 in 2021/22).
Fees for Life offices
Fees for life offices are based on factors applied to business volumes for our three life insurer investigations – Annuities, Assurances and Income Protection – using figures reported to the regulator on Form S14 of the year-end Quantitative Reporting Templates (QRTs).
2022/23 subscription fees are the sum of the following factors applied to values from Form S14 of the 2020 QRTs:
- A factor of 0.12 per £100,000 of Best Estimate Liability on UK annuities,
- A factor of 0.75 per £1,000,000 of Capital at Risk on UK individual mortality and critical illness policies,
- A factor of 0.5 per £10,000 of Best Estimate Liability on UK individual income protection claims in payment, and
- A factor of 0.6 per £100,000 of Capital at Risk on UK individual income protection policies.
The fee is subject to a minimum of £5,900 (£5,600 in 2021/22) and a maximum of £75,000.
Please note:
- the fee is expressed net of VAT
- the calculation is intended to apply to UK business only (we understand that low volumes of overseas business can be combined with UK business on Form S14 but, by definition, the impact should be small)
- we ask insurers to supply the relevant figures from their QRTs alongside their calculated fee
- if you have queries regarding the basis, please email finances@cmilimited.co.uk
- insurers are requested to consider the "spirit" of the formula and to contact us if they consider that it does not appropriately reflect the nature of their business.
Fees for other organisations
The approach to setting fees for some other types of organisations that do not fall within any of these groups is set out below.
Academics
Academics are granted free access provided their use of CMI outputs is solely for non-commercial purposes. This will also apply to any individuals who are members of CMI committees who do not work for an organisation that pays a fee and to overseas actuarial associations.
Regulators and government bodies
Regulators and government bodies are granted free access, as we believe this will encourage more widespread use of CMI outputs.
Other UK commercial firms
The standard fee for an organisation (other than a life insurer, a reinsurer, or an actuarial consultancy, including accountancy firms employing actuaries) will be the same level as for a reinsurer (£23,400 + VAT in 2022/23, £22,250 in 2021/22). If a firm can clearly demonstrate that its planned use of CMI outputs is modest, then a lower fee can be considered.
Overseas companies with a UK entity
The fee for Overseas companies with a UK entity will be based on the UK entity.
Overseas companies with no UK entity
The fee for Overseas companies with no UK entity will normally be calculated as if the company were a UK entity e.g. for an overseas life insurer, this would be based on best estimate liability on annuities and income protection claims in payment and capital at risk on individual mortality, critical illness and income protection policies.

Balancing the short – and the long – term: the challenges of being a “sustainable” NED
6 September 2022The role of Non-Executive Directors has become increasingly challenging and critical over the past few years.
Big picture thinking, Governance knowledge, Independent mindset, Ambassador potential and Energy and commitment: these are the essential skills sought in a successful NED, according to the Chartered Governance Institute (UK & Ireland).
In parallel, Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) criteria are increasingly key and used by investors to measure the sustainability and ethical impact of investing in an organisation.

Is your ESG offering a misselling risk? This innovative concept can resolve that risk
7 September 2022This webinar will cover:

How do CDC pension schemes smooth members' pensions?
23 September 2022In the UK, the idea of collective defined contribution (CDC) pension schemes is gaining more attention with the launch of the Royal Mail CDC scheme, the first of its kind in the UK. Our recent research on CDC plans investigates the sources of the putative benefits of CDC schemes: the smoothing of pensions for members. Using an attribution analysis to burrow into the scheme design, the reason for the smoothing of members' pensions is explained and understood.

Social Care Agenda
11 October 2022Social care reform has long been on the to-do list for successive governments over the last two decades. In February, the government’s proposed reforms to adult social care [including cap on care costs] was published. Against this backdrop of funding promise and rising National Insurance taxation, in this session we will debate the resilience of these new proposals, the impact of future demand for care services and what role for the insurance industry and the important role it has played in long-term care funding in other countries where public-private partnership works.

Mortality and morbidity risk varies by variables such as age, sex and smoking. In traditional actuarial experience analysis, these variables, and certain combinations thereof can be explored. However, with the wealth of data now available it is becoming increasingly challenging to identify the key drivers of experience and account for the interaction between different variables. A univariate approach often compares apples and pears, for example males are more likely to smoke and have larger policies than females. Likewise, variable interactions are missed unless specifically included.
