Calculation assumptions

This calculator uses a needs-based method. Income replacement is estimated from annual income, support years and the optional inflation adjustment. It then adds debts and future expenses and subtracts savings and existing coverage. It does not estimate insurance premiums or account for taxes, investment returns or policy-specific conditions.

Frequently asked questions
How much life insurance do I need?

A common starting point is enough coverage to replace income, pay major debts and fund key family goals after subtracting available assets.

Should I include my mortgage?

Include the amount you would want paid off so your family can remain in the home without the mortgage burden.

Does this calculator estimate monthly premiums?

No. Premiums depend on age, health, policy type, term length, insurer underwriting and other personal factors.
