|  | As of December 31, |  |  | As of December 31, |
|  | 2017 |  |  | 2016 |  |  | 2017 |  |  | 2016 |
Discount rate |  |  | 3.66% |  |  |  | 4.14% |  |  |  | 4.24% |  |  |  | 4.55% |
Health care cost trend rate assumed for next year |  |  | 6.25% |  |  |  | 6.50% |  |  |  | 5.56% |  |  |  | 5.50% |
Ultimate trend rate |  |  | 4.81% |  |  |  | 5.00% |  |  |  | 5.56% |  |  |  | 5.68% |
Year that the rate reaches the ultimate trend rate |  |  | 2024 |  |  |  | 2020 |  |  |  | 2018 |  |  |  | 2018 |
Effect of One-Percentage-Point Change in Assumed Health Care Cost Trend Rates | A one-percentage-point change in assumed health care cost trend rates would have the following effects:
|  |  |  |  | As of December 31, 2017 |
|  |  |  |  | One-Percentage-Point |
|  |  |  |  | Increase |  |  | Decrease |
|  |  |  |  | (in millions) |
Effect on postretirement benefit obligation |  |  |  |  |  | $ | 49 |  |  | $ | (40 | )
Effect on annual service and interest cost |  |  |  |  |  |  | 3 |  |  |  | (2 | )
Postemployment Benefit Plans |
Components of Net Costs | Net periodic postemployment costs consisted of the following:
|  | For the Years Ended December 31, |
|  | 2017 |  |  | 2016 |  |  | 2015 |
|  | (in millions) |
Service cost |  | $ | 5 |  |  | $ | 7 |  |  | $ | 7 |
Interest cost |  |  | 4 |  |  |  | 6 |  |  |  | 5 |
Amortization of net gains |  |  | (3 | ) |  |  | (1 | ) |  |  | – |
Net periodic postemployment costs |  | $ | 6 |  |  | $ | 12 |  |  | $ | 12 |
Changes in Accumulated Postemployment Benefit Obligations | Our postemployment plans are primarily not funded. The changes in and the amount of the accrued benefit obligation at December 31, 2017 and 2016 were:
|  | As of December 31, |
|  | 2017 |  |  | 2016 |
|  | (in millions) |
Accrued benefit obligation at January 1 |  | $ | 71 |  |  | $ | 95 |
Service cost |  |  | 5 |  |  |  | 7 |
Interest cost |  |  | 4 |  |  |  | 6 |
Benefits paid |  |  | (6 | ) |  |  | (9 | )
Assumption changes |  |  | – |  |  |  | (21 | )
Actuarial losses/(gains) |  |  | 2 |  |  |  | (7 | )
Accrued benefit obligation at December 31 |  | $ | 76 |  |  | $ | 71 |
