How Much Life Insurance May Your Family Need?
Your life insurance needs are about more than choosing a policy. They are about protecting your income, family, debts, future goals, and the people who depend on you.
Use this complimentary calculator to identify a potential coverage gap and begin a more informed conversation about your financial protection strategy.
What Should Your Coverage Consider?
Income Replacement
Financial support for the people who rely on your income.
Mortgage and Debts
Funds that may help reduce financial obligations.
Family Responsibilities
Everyday living expenses, dependants, and future needs.
Existing Resources
Current insurance, savings, investments, and benefits.
Do You Have Enough Protection?
A simple coverage gap review can help identify whether your income, debts, family needs, and existing insurance are properly aligned.

Estimated Results
Educational estimate only. Actual insurance needs depend on your full financial situation, underwriting, goals, budget, and existing coverage.
How Is This Estimate Calculated?
This calculator provides a simple educational estimate using a fixed income-replacement assumption, your outstanding financial obligations, the number of dependants, and your existing life insurance coverage.

This Is a Starting Point, Not a Final Recommendation
The calculator assumes approximately 10 years of income replacement and $75,000 for each dependant. It does not automatically adjust for your age, planned retirement date, spouse’s income, savings, investments, pensions, education funding, taxes, inflation, workplace benefits, or other survivor income.
Every family’s circumstances are different. A personalized insurance review can determine how many years of income may actually be needed, which existing resources should be considered, and what amount and type of coverage may be appropriate.

Your Coverage Gap Is the Beginning of the Conversation
A calculator can help identify a possible shortfall, but the appropriate amount and type of insurance should reflect your complete financial picture, priorities, affordability, and long-term goals.
Review the Amount
Determine how much protection may be required for income replacement, mortgages, debts, family expenses, education, and final obligations.
Choose the Right Structure
Your needs may involve term insurance, permanent insurance, or a carefully designed combination of coverage types.
Consider Existing Resources
Workplace benefits, personal policies, savings, investments, and survivor income sources may affect the final recommendation.
Review It Regularly
Coverage should be revisited after major life events such as marriage, a new child, a mortgage, business ownership, or retirement.
