Calculate Your Term Insurance Cover

The most common way people size term insurance is a rough rule like 10 times annual income. This calculator uses a more accurate method: it works out how much monthly income your family would need if you weren’t there to provide it, for as long as they’d need it, adjusted for inflation, then subtracts what your existing assets and cover already provide.

What is a Term Insurance Calculator?

A term insurance calculator estimates the life cover amount needed to replace your income for your family, rather than just insuring a lump sum. This calculator uses the income replacement method (the present value of a growing income annuity), which the SEBI Investor Education framework recommends as more accurate than simple income multiples, since it accounts for inflation eating into a fixed payout over time.

Income & Assumptions

Monthly income your family needs if you're not around (today's rupees).

How long should this income last? Usually until your dependents are self-sufficient.

India's long-term CPI is around 5–7%.

Conservative debt-fund or balanced portfolio return (7–9% typical).

Existing Coverage & Liabilities

Total of your existing term plans (excludes endowment / ULIP cash value).

Liquid investments your family could deploy (FDs, MFs, savings).

Outstanding home loan, car loan, personal debt, etc.

One Policy Rarely Covers the Whole Family's Risk

This calculator sizes cover for one income earner. In many Indian families, both parents work, and a shortfall in either income changes what the family needs. Term cover also needs to be reviewed as liabilities change, a new home loan, a child’s education costs, ageing parents, rather than bought once and forgotten.
