Frequently asked questions
What is the appropriate capital for life insurance?
The general rule is the insurance capital 10-15 times the annual income, but a more accurate way is to calculate from the actual burden: Total debt + family expenses × period of coverage - savings and liquid assets
What is the minimum capital you should have?
The minimum recommended is to cover all debt (home, car, credit card) plus income for 1-2 years to allow the family to adjust. If there are children or dependents, the capital should be increased to cover the expenses until the child is 22 years old.
When should we review the capital?
Life insurance should be reviewed every 3 to 5 years or whenever there are major life events like marriage, children, home purchase, job changes or significant income increases, so that the coverage is aligned with the actual burden and needs.
