How it's calculated
The formula
Cover needed = present value of future income (a growing annuity discounted to today over your working years) + outstanding liabilities − existing assets − existing life cover. Any positive remainder is the additional cover you should buy.
Assumptions
- Income replacement until age 60.
- Income growth ~6% p.a. discounted at ~7% p.a.
- Liabilities and assets entered at current values.

Real-world scenarios
See exactly how the numbers play out in the situations people actually face — so there are no surprises before you commit.
A 35-year-old earning ₹12 lakh with ₹30 lakh of loans
Replacing the income of a 35-year-old who earns ₹12 lakh, carries ₹30 lakh of loans and holds ₹10 lakh of savings points to a cover of roughly ₹1.5 crore. The cover clears the debts and gives the family years of income to rebuild — that is the real job of term insurance.
Why buying young is so cheap
Term premiums are locked in at the age you buy, so a healthy 30-year-old can secure ₹1 crore for a fraction of what a 45-year-old pays for the same cover. The single biggest mistake is waiting — every year of delay raises the price for life.
Term vs traditional plans
Endowment and money-back plans mix insurance with weak returns and leave you under-covered for the premium. Pure term gives the largest cover for the lowest cost; invest the difference in SIPs and you get both proper protection and real growth.

Frequently asked questions
The details worth knowing before you rely on these numbers.
How much term insurance cover do I need?
Enough to replace your future income, clear your debts, and fund your family's goals, after subtracting existing assets and cover. The Human Life Value (HLV) method used here gives a personalised figure rather than a generic multiple.
What is the Human Life Value method?
HLV estimates the present economic value of your future earnings until retirement, then adds liabilities and subtracts assets and existing cover. It captures your real financial responsibility to dependents more accurately than a simple income multiple.
Is 10× my income enough cover?
It is a reasonable starting point, but it ignores your specific loans, assets and number of dependents. Someone with a large home loan and young children may need far more than 10×, while someone debt-free with substantial assets may need less.
Why is term insurance recommended over other life policies?
Term insurance is pure protection — it offers the largest sum assured for the lowest premium, with no investment component diluting the cover. Keep insurance and investment separate for the best of both.
When should I buy term insurance?
As early as possible. Premiums are locked based on your age and health at purchase, so buying young secures a high cover cheaply for the full term.
What riders should I consider with a term plan?
Common add-ons include critical-illness cover (a lump sum on diagnosis of a listed illness), accidental-death benefit, and waiver of premium (future premiums are waived if you are disabled or critically ill). Riders add modest cost and useful protection, but their scope and definitions vary — read the insurer’s policy document before adding one.
What happens if I outlive the policy term?
A pure term plan pays nothing if you survive the term — that is exactly why it is so cheap, since you are buying protection, not a return. “Return of premium” variants refund your premiums but cost far more; for most families it is better to buy plain term and invest the difference separately.
How do I make sure my family’s claim is paid?
The single biggest reason term claims are rejected is non-disclosure. Declare everything honestly at purchase — income, occupation, smoking or tobacco use, medical history and existing policies — and keep your nominee informed. Insurance is the subject matter of solicitation, and the claim is governed by the insurer’s policy terms, so accuracy at the application stage is what protects your family.
