Insurance Calculator – Term, Health & Vehicle Premium Estimator (India)
This unified Insurance Calculator helps you estimate appropriate Term Life Insurance cover, evaluate Health Insurance premiums, and compute approximate Vehicle (Car & Bike) Insurance premiums using simplified actuarial assumptions. It is built for quick planning and educational use – final premiums depend on insurer underwriting.
1. Term Insurance Cover Estimation Methodology
We calculate the present value (PV) of future income you want to replace, adjust for inflation vs expected portfolio return to derive a real discount rate, add outstanding liabilities, then subtract existing life cover. This produces a more tailored sum assured than a flat 10–15× rule.
- PV of Income: Σ (Income × (1+inflation)^{t-1} / (1+return)^{t})
- Real Rate Approx: ((1+return)/(1+inflation)) − 1
- Recommended Cover: PV Income + Liabilities − Existing Cover (floored to ≥ 0)
2. Health Insurance Premium Approximation
Base premium scales with family size, city tier (medical cost inflation), and sum insured. We then adjust for No Claim Bonus (NCB) enhanced coverage, co-pay shifting part of claim cost to you (reducing effective premium net of risk), and any loading for risk factors (age / medical history). This is a heuristic model – actual pricing varies.
3. Vehicle Insurance (Car / Bike) Model
We estimate IDV (Insured Declared Value) using a depreciation table (IRDAI indicative ranges). The own-damage premium depends on vehicle type, age, and zone. Add-ons (like zero depreciation, engine protect) increase cost; NCB reduces it. Third-party premium is excluded for simplicity (regulated separately).
| Age (Years) | Depreciation % (Approx) |
|---|
4. Charts & Interpretation
Doughnut / bar charts visually show composition: term cover drivers (income PV vs liabilities), health premium build-up (base, loading, NCB effect), and vehicle premium (base, add-ons, discount). This helps identify optimisation levers.
5. Limitations & Disclaimer
- Simplified actuarial assumptions – real underwriting uses medical & demographic factors.
- Health premium model ignores GST & insurer specific loadings.
- Vehicle premium excludes third-party mandatory cover & GST.
- Outputs are for education / planning – not a quote or solicitation.
FAQs
What multiple of income should term insurance be?
A broad range is 10–15× annual income; this tool refines based on PV of income & liabilities.
Does higher inflation increase required cover?
Yes, higher inflation raises future income needs, increasing PV and suggested cover.
Why is my health premium changing with city tier?
Tier 1 metros have higher healthcare costs – base premium loading reflects cost inflation risk.
Is third-party motor premium included?
Not in this simplified version; regulated TP premium varies by engine capacity.
