Life Insurance: How Much Cover Do You Really Need?
Life Insurance: How Much Cover Do You Really Need?
Life insurance is one of those things most people know they should have — but few feel confident they've got right. Too little, and your family is left financially vulnerable. Too much, and you're paying premiums you don't need to.
So how do you find the right number?
A common starting point is to multiply your annual income by ten. But that's a rough estimate. A more accurate approach considers your outstanding debts, your dependents' ages, future education costs, and whether your spouse or partner earns an independent income.
Term life insurance is usually the simplest and most affordable option — it covers you for a fixed period, typically 10 to 30 years. Whole life policies offer lifetime coverage and a savings component, but come at a higher cost.
Your needs also change over time. A policy that made sense when you were newly married may need revisiting after buying a home or having children.
The right life insurance policy isn't about a number — it's about making sure the people who depend on you are protected, no matter what. Speak to an advisor who can model your specific situation before you decide.
