Insurance Calculator

Finding the right insurance cover is simpler than you think. Whether you're looking for death cover, total and permanent disablement (TPD) cover, or income protection, our insurance calculator helps estimate how much protection you may need to support yourself and your loved ones.

How much insurance cover do you need?

Life is unpredictable, and having the right life insurance ensures your family’s financial security if the unexpected happens. The right level of cover depends on your lifestyle, financial obligations, and future plans.

  • Death cover – Provides a lump sum to your loved ones if you die, helping to cover debts, daily expenses, and future financial needs.
  • Total and Permanent Disablement (TPD) cover – Pays a benefit if you suffer a permanent disability that stops you from working.
  • Income protection – Replaces a portion of your income if an illness or injury stops you from working, helping with ongoing expenses.

Our insurance calculator takes your circumstances into account to provide an estimate of how much cover you may need.

How the insurance calculator works

By entering basic details, the insurance calculator estimates the level of cover that may suit your needs. However, keep in mind:

  • The estimate is for illustrative purposes only and does not consider all financial factors.
  • It does not determine eligibility for cover.
