How the Calculation Works

The calculator uses a transparent, four-step deterministic formula:

Step 1: Income Replacement Need

text

Annual household income × Number of years to replace (default: 10 years)

Example: 100,000income×10years=100,000income×10years=1,000,000

Step 2: Debt Coverage

Total outstanding debts (mortgage + loans + credit cards)

Step 3: Future Goals

College funds, retirement catch-up, or other legacy goals

Step 4: Subtract Existing Coverage

(Income Need + Debts + Goals) − (Existing life insurance + Savings)

Final Result = Recommended coverage amount

Understanding Your Adequacy Score

The Adequacy Score compares your existing coverage against your calculated need:

GradeAdequacy PercentageMeaning
A+120% or higherExcellent — your family is fully protected, possibly over-insured
A100% – 119%Good — your coverage matches your calculated need
B80% – 99%Moderate gap — consider increasing coverage
C60% – 79%Significant gap — your family may face financial hardship
DBelow 60%Urgent gap — immediate action recommended

Example from the calculator above:

  • Recommended coverage: $965,000
  • Existing coverage: $100,000
  • Adequacy score: 10.4% (Grade D)

This means your current coverage covers only 10% of your family’s actual need — leaving a gap of $865,000.
