Calculate your life insurance needs
Estimating how much life insurance is right for you and your family takes several factors into account. To learn the amount of life insurance you need, you'll need to determine what you want to protect in the event of your death.
Before getting started, we recommend gathering detailed information about your monthly expenses and current assets. Providing accurate numbers will help the calculator produce a more accurate and useful estimate for you.
The calculator will walk you through four steps:

2. Monthly expenses

3. Income and assets
-
4. Your estimate

Large expenses
First, we'll estimate some of the one-time expenses your family would face, as well as some larger expenses that you may want to provide for with life insurance.
Please fill in the final expenses field.
Covering monthly expenses
Next, let's take a look at your typical monthly living expenses -- things your family would need to cover to continue living your current lifestyle.
If one of these expenses doesn't apply to you, just leave it blank.
Please fill in all required fields.
Income and assets
Next, we'll look at your current assets and income that would be available to your family today if the unexpected happens.
Fill in the total values of these assets. If they don't apply to you, just leave them blank.
