How Much Life Cover Might You Need?

Moneysmart, run by ASIC (the Australian Securities and Investments Commission), offers a free life insurance calculator. It can help you estimate how much life cover you might need by considering things like funeral costs, your mortgage and other debts, your children's education and your family's living costs, offset against your super, savings and other assets.

What you'll need

  • Approximate mortgage balance.
  • Other debts such as car loans or credit cards.
  • Your children's ages.
  • Your family's living costs.
  • Your super balance.
  • Your savings and other assets.

Please note: the Moneysmart calculator only covers life cover. It doesn't estimate TPD, trauma or income protection needs.

What happens next?

Once you have an estimate, get in touch and we can talk you through your cover options and compare policies from leading insurers through our general advice process.
