The Insurance Gap Calculator estimates a planning estimate for the health or protection scenario entered from the personal measurements, coverage assumptions, period and other non-identifying values requested by the calculator. Replace the example values with your own insurance gap figures and recalculate after changing an assumption. Treat it as a planning estimate and independently verify the current rule or provider terms.
Compare the insurance capital you should have with the one you have and calculate how much extra insurance you need.

Frequently asked questions
What is the margin gap?
Sum Assured Gap is the difference between the insurance capital that should be and the actual one. If there is a gap, it means that the family will not receive enough money if an accident happens.
How much of your income should the capital be?
The general rule is 5-10 times the annual income plus all debts and family expenses that need to be protected, like child education.
Should I count group insurance from work?
It should count, but group insurance usually only covers 1-3 times your salary and expires when you leave work, so you should have additional personal insurance.
How to reduce the capital gap?
Buy additional insurance, starting with the cheapest term life premium per unit of capital to close the gap as quickly as possible in the budget.
