An actuary is a professional who uses mathematics, statistics, and financial analysis to assess uncertain future outcomes. In insurance, actuarial work supports pricing, insurance reserves, benefit design, and solvency analysis. It considers assumptions about claims, mortality, expenses, investment returns, and other relevant factors.

An actuary's projection still involves uncertainty and does not make every future bonus figure guaranteed. Regulatory requirements and professional qualifications differ across jurisdictions, so specific roles should be checked locally.
