How is sum assured calculated?
If you want to calculate the approximate sum assured that you are looking to get out of your term insurance policy, first consider your current expenses and add any existing liabilities such as loans and debts to it. Next, you need to subtract any disposable assets from this amount. Once this is done, you need to think ahead and consider expenses that may be incurred due to imminent and unavoidable life events and goals, such as weddings, anniversaries, vacations, higher studies, etc.
How do I calculate the cost of life insurance?
The essential cost that is incurred by you is determined by the perceived risk that an insurance company attributes to you on the basis of the personal information and preferences that you specify. For instance, if you work in a dangerous occupation and also harbour a smoking habit, your costs for life insurance will definitely be higher as compared to if you work in a relatively safe job and lead a healthy lifestyle. This is owing to the fact that the more safer and healthier your lifestyle, the lower are the chances of unexpected death and thereby, maturation of the life insurance policy.
How do I know how much sum assured/life coverage I need for a term insurance?
The life cover that you need is dependent on some crucial factors, most of which are derived from the future financial plans that you have for yourself and your family. When considering life cover, factor in aspects such as your average monthly expenses, your liabilities or debts, and existing wealth. Moreover, also consider whether you want to create a retirement corpus in the future, while also considering all the major events that are in the pipeline in the coming future, such as weddings, children’s higher studies, etc.
Why is my smoking status required? I am not a habitual smoker?
