Your details

A quick, honest note. This tool gives a rough, educational estimate to help you think things through. It is not insurance, financial, tax, or legal advice, and it is not a quote or an offer of coverage. Everything you type stays in your browser on your device — nothing is saved, sent, or seen by anyone. Your real number depends on details a calculator cannot capture, so treat this as a starting point for a proper conversation.

Common questions

How much life insurance do I actually need?

It depends on what you would want money to do if you were gone: replace your income for a number of years, pay off the mortgage and other debts, cover final expenses, and fund goals like your children's education. Add those up, subtract savings and any coverage you already have, and the difference is a reasonable target.

Is 10 times my income enough?

The 10x rule is a quick shortcut, not an answer. It can be close for some families and well off for others. A needs-based estimate that looks at your real debts, goals and existing coverage is more reliable.

Should I buy term or permanent life insurance?

That depends on how long the need lasts and your budget. Term is simple and cost-effective for temporary needs like income replacement and a mortgage; permanent coverage suits lifelong needs and certain estate goals. It is worth a short conversation.
