However, European countries believed that gender can be omitted and there should not be discrimination towards gender in insurance practice. Hence, the unisex rate has been enforced and the use of gender in premium pricing is strictly prohibited starting from 21St December 2012 for some European countries. This study intends to develop unisex mortality rates based on the current mortality rates and observe the profitability of the insurer after the implementation of unisex rates towards insurance and Takaful products in Malaysia by using profit testing. This is done by calculating unisex rate and model the profit test by using Visual Basic Programming (VBA). M9903 - Male and M9903- Female will be used to construct the unisex mortality table and the assumptions are set up to compute the insurer's profitability. Profit testing involves few profit measures such as Net Present Value (NPV), Payback Period (PBP) and Profit Margin (PM). The results show positive profit and that companies can consider applying unisex rates in their premium or contribution pricing.
