• The age, earning capacity, and life expectancy of the decedent;
• The relationship of the decedent to the survivors;
• The amount of support contributed by the decedent when living to each of his or her dependents;
• The probable net income of the decedent that would haven available to contribute to a particular survivor;
• The decedent’s response to the obligation to contribute to the support of the dependents;
• The probable increased needs of the dependents;
• The likelihood that the decedent would have contributed to the increased needs of the dependents;
• The potential increases in decedent’s income, including the likelihood of promotions;
• The education, health, habits, morals, social status, standard of living, intelligence, personality and skills of the  decedent;
• An award for future economic damages such as loss of future support and services and lost net accumulations must be  reduced to present money value.
