Getting the most from the calculators
The calculators are designed to give you a quick, realistic starting point. They use the figures you enter along with simple, widely used rules of thumb — such as replacing your income for the years your family would rely on it.
They can’t account for everything. Things like your health, future salary changes, inflation and how you’d like the money to be used can all affect what’s right for you. Treat the result as an estimate rather than a final answer.
When you’re ready, a broker can review your figures with you and compare quotes from a panel of UK insurers — free and with no obligation.
Calculator questions
They give an estimate based on the figures you enter. They’re a good starting point, but your real needs depend on your full circumstances. A broker can help you check the numbers.
No. The calculators work in your browser and don’t ask for your name or contact details. You only share details if you choose to request a quote.
It’s worth reviewing your cover after big life events — buying a home, having a child, changing jobs or paying off debts.
