FAQs

Is the calculated amount a policy recommendation?

No. It is an educational cover-gap estimate; affordability, health, insurer underwriting and policy terms also matter.

Should employer life insurance count as existing cover?

You may include it, but remember that employer cover can end when you change or leave a job.
