Don't count employer group cover — it usually ends when you leave the job.

Additional cover needed

₹2,70,00,000

The gap between what your family needs and what you already hold.

Total cover need

₹2,70,00,000

Income replacement for the chosen years, plus loans to clear.

Cover as multiple of income

23

Total need ÷ annual income — a quick sanity check against rules of thumb.

Employer group cover is not portable — keep it out of 'existing cover' and plan around a personal policy.

This is an estimate of cover needed only. Actual premiums and eligibility are decided by the insurer, and this tool does not recommend any insurer or plan.
How this is calculated

Income for family = Annual income × (1 − personal expense %). Total need = (Income for family × years) + outstanding liabilities. Additional cover needed = max(0, total need − existing personal cover). The profile only changes the guidance notes, not the arithmetic.

Frequently asked questions

Does this show premiums?
No. Premiums depend on your age, health, habits and the insurer's underwriting, so any figure here would be made up. Use the cover amount to get real quotes from licensed insurers.
Why is the 10x-income rule different from this result?
The 10x rule ignores your loans and how many working years your family relies on. This uses both, so it can be higher or lower than 10x.
Do I need to share my phone number to see the result?
No. The result appears instantly, and nothing you enter leaves your browser.
