HOW MUCH LIFE INSURANCE DO I NEED ?

A Simple Calculator for Life Insurance

The amount of Life insurance needed can be estimated roughly by adding your outstanding debts and then factoring in an amount for lost income to the family.

For example:

Lets assume your income is $50,000, Your Mortgage is $250,000 – for a typical family the credit card debt may be $2500..adding up the debts gives us a total of $252,500.

To provide for your family, the lost income for a lifetime, we invest the proceeds into a secure term deposit at say 7% (estimate only).

Then an amount to provide lifetime income to your family is simply $50,000 (your annual income) divided by 7% = $714,285
By adding the debts ($252,500) a sum insured is arrived at $966,785 – at this point we remove amounts that may be released by unused assets sales and super entitlements to arrive at a final insurable amount.

Obviously factors such as higher or lower returns and inflation need to be taken into account.

This is where you need the advise of our planners.

Life Insurance Policy Cover

Term Life insurance cover is usually provided under a regular premium Life insurance policy which provides a lump sum benefit upon your death. For an additional premium you may be able to obtain Terminal Illness Insurance Cover which provides a lump sum benefit if you are diagnosed as being Terminally Ill. Typically the regular premium for Term Life Insurance cover will increase as you get older, as the risk of you dying or contracting a terminal illness increases. However, some Life Insurance policies provide a “level” premium which remains fixed until you reach a specified age, say 65, after which the Life Insurance premiums rise increase annually.

Term Life Insurance policies are not savings plans. The terms and conditions applied to Term Life Insurance policies will vary between Life insurance companies so you should ensure that any Life Insurance policy offered to you is appropriate to your needs.
