Abstract: In this article a model to estimate a discount factor matrix is derived for discount rates between 1% and 15% for the United Kingdom on the basis of a public-sector project evaluation method known as the sum of discounted consumption flows. These factors can readily be used by project analysts working on United Kingdom projects, especially those in which costs and benefits extend over many years.
