Life Insurance Calculator (Multiple Variables)
This calculator factors in many variables to help you determine the amount of life insurance you need, including:
- Paying off your mortgage and other debts
- College needs
- Final expenses
Income Replacement (Only) Calculator
While many professionals recommend that you carry 5 to 10 times your salary in life insurance, we find the following calculator to be a more accurate predictor of your life insurance needs.
Most peoples' family would live comfortably on less than 100% of their income.
That's what makes this calculator so powerful. It allows you to choose a percentage of your income to replace and how long it's needed.
