n = Number of years = 10 years
f = inflation / i = interest rate = The percentage values will be the rates applicable will be those published by the Bank of England at the onset of the commuted sum being transferred to the Council.
(1-((1+f/100)/(1+i/100))^(n+1)) / (1-(1+f/100)/(1+i/100))-1
The formula will calculate a multiplier for the rate value specified.
