How we calculate the cover you need

1. PV of recurring expenses

We discount future household expenses by inflation (6%) over your dependency period. This gives the lump-sum needed today to cover those expenses if your income disappears tomorrow.

2. Add liabilities and goals

Outstanding loans (home, car, personal) and committed future goals (education, renovation) are added on top. These don't disappear when you do.

3. Subtract assets and cover

Liquid assets your family can immediately use (FDs, MFs, savings) and any term cover you already have are subtracted. The remainder is what you need.
