Thank you Jarry!

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  Chris Hopley: In some cases, I think it might be translatable as 'base quantity' - e.g. when the rekengrootheid is the desired monthly/annual benefit and all other calculations are derived from that

  -> Thanks, what you have added makes sense.
neutral  Oliver Pekelharing: assuming this is correct, is 'rekengrootheid' not used incorrectly here? Or is this insurance terminology? ... I know, it's the use of the word 'rekengrootheid' I'm wondering about. ... Not grading; just using this box to pose a question.
