Work out excess mortality instantly with clear inputs, formula shown and shareable results.
Subtracts expected from observed deaths and expresses the difference as a P-score, the standard excess mortality indicator.
Excess mortality
Excess deaths = observed - expected; P-score (%) = excess / expected x 100

A baseline model fitted to previous years, usually allowing for trend, seasonality and population change.
