About the Age Lookup table
The Age lookup table is useful for finding the corresponding financial year for an individual's or dependent's age (or vice versa). It also labels useful milestones such as preservation age, age pension age and the year a child stops being dependent.

The table lists each dependant and individual and shows:
The age they will turn for each financial year in the analysis (i.e. 1 July - 30th June), not a calendar year (i.e. not 1 January - 31 December))
Annotations for individuals:
Preservation age
Age Pension age
Annotations for dependants:
'Dependant until' year (as entered by you at the Current situation > Personal details step
