About You
Let's start with the basics
Your personal details help us size the recommendation correctly and ensure the report reaches you.
Minimum age: 23 years
Spouse details needed: We use your spouse's age and life expectancy to estimate how long the income corpus must sustain your household after you're gone.
For conservative financial planning, consider entering 80 or higher to help ensure your spouse remains financially secure throughout their expected lifetime
Anyone — spouse, children, parents, siblings — who relies on your income
Income support horizon: Since you have dependents but no spouse, we need to estimate how many years they will rely on your income. This drives the income replacement corpus in your calculation.
E.g. until children finish education, or parents reach old age. When in doubt, choose 15–20 years.

Your Finances
Income, expenses & goals
These figures let us calculate the exact corpus your family would need — to maintain their lifestyle and meet future goals without compromise.
Foundation of your income-replacement corpus
Actual living costs determine how long the corpus sustains your family
Existing cover reduces the additional coverage you need to buy
Loans must be cleared so your family isn't burdened in your absence
Lender cover reduces net liability exposure in the calculation
Future goals must be funded even in your absence
Existing savings earmarked for goals reduce the additional cover needed
Existing Investments & Assets
Your investable assets partially offset the required corpus. Enter current values — type 0 if not applicable.
PF savings partially substitute the corpus requirement
PPF savings reduce the additional corpus your family needs
NPS corpus is available to dependents and offsets the required cover
All liquid assets reduce the net corpus needed

Health Profile
A quick health check
Insurers factor your health profile into premiums and underwriting. Being accurate here ensures the most realistic premium estimate and smooth claim settlement later.
These questions don't judge you — they help set realistic assumptions for premium loading and insurability. Complete information protects your family's claim.
Smoker status significantly affects your premium — disclosed accurately, it ensures a valid claim
⚠️ Smokers typically pay ~80–100% higher premiums than non-smokers of the same age. This will be reflected in your estimate.
Frequent alcohol use may attract additional underwriting scrutiny
Declared conditions help insurers price risk fairly and prevent future claim rejection
History of serious illness may affect policy terms — disclosure ensures claim validity

ℹ️Calculation assumptions:
The income replacement corpus uses a real rate of return of 3.77%,
derived from an expected investment return of 10% p.a. and an assumed
long-term expense inflation of 6% p.a.
[(1.10 ÷ 1.06) − 1 ≈ 3.77%]. This real rate approach, applied to today's expenses,
is equivalent to projecting expenses at 6% inflation and discounting at 10% return —
the standard CFP methodology for income replacement corpus estimation.
