Nothing can replace the loss of a loved one. However, monetary compensation is akin to a soothing umbrella against life’s strains. Therefore, contemplate all the factors to decide an appropriate term insurance cover amount as a promissory against an uncertain future. Keep reading to know more.
Life is unpredictable yet beautiful. Preparedness can diffuse unpredictability to a great extent and retain life’s beauty. Losing a loved one can bring a barrage of emotional and financial turmoil. Staying prepared is the best defense during such unforeseen circumstances. One such way is to buy a term insurance plan .
Term covers are pure life insurance plans that provide optimum coverage at a minimal cost. If the insured dies within the policy term, the insurance company pays the sum assured to the family.
Hence, the sum assured should suffice the financial needs of the policyholder’s family and should be in sync with the current and future living standards. Therefore, the term cover amount should not rely only on the insurer’s income; instead, you must decide the amount based on your family’s financial goals.
Consider the below-listed factors that would make it easier to decide how much term insurance amount would suffice for your family-
Most experts advise that a term insurance cover should be nearly 15 to 20 times an insurer’s annual income. For example, if the yearly income is Rs. 10 lakhs, the term cover should be between Rs. 1.5 crore to 2 crores. However, this advice should be taken with a pinch of salt. While it can help you zero in on the minimum cover, you may need more or lesser coverage depending on other factors, as mentioned below.
Age is crucial as it indicates the enormity of your responsibilities. When you are young and just starting your career, you may not have too many responsibilities. However, you are more likely to shoulder more responsibilities as you age. Thus, you may need a slightly higher cover
If the insurance holder dies early, the coverage should be enough to accommodate the instalments of the current debts and loans. It would help if you also considered the market value of the financial assets as they will help in nullifying the liabilities or helping meet the financial goals.
The objective of buying a term insurance plan is to comfortably meet the financial goals of the insurer’s family, in tandem with maintaining the living standards. Consider a few financial objectives that may impact the cover you will need-
This is an essential factor as premiums should fit in easily in the insurer’s disposable income bracket. A higher term cover amount may seem enticing, but a very high premium may result in payment defaults and policy elapse.
