Life Insurance Needed
Annual Income Replacement
Life insurance is essential financial protection that ensures your family's financial security if you pass away unexpectedly. The coverage needed depends on your income, dependents' lifestyle, outstanding debts, and how long they'll need support. In India, IRDAI recommends insurance coverage of 10-15 times your annual income as a baseline. This calculator uses the income replacement method, calculating how many years your dependents need support and what percentage of income they'll require. Life insurance is particularly crucial in India due to limited social safety nets and the traditional dependency on primary earner income. Young professionals with mortgages and children should prioritize term insurance as it's affordable and provides substantial protection. Regularly review coverage after major life events like marriage, children's birth, home purchases, or promotions to ensure adequacy.
