What this calculator does
This calculator estimates how much life insurance may be needed to protect an estate against tax, debt repayment, final costs, liquidity gaps, business continuity needs and family support goals, then subtracts existing life cover and available liquid resources.
Core formulas
Estate cost need = tax + debts + final costs + liquidity gap + other estate needs
Family support need = (annual support need − survivor income) × support years
Gross cover need = estate cost need + family support need + safety margin
Additional cover = gross cover need − existing cover − available assets and offsets
Why estate cover matters
An estate can be valuable on paper but still expose heirs to taxes, liquidity strain or forced asset sales. Life insurance can create immediate liquidity and reduce pressure to liquidate property, businesses or other estate assets under poor timing.
How to use it properly
Include only real estate obligations and support goals that the policy is intended to fund. Keep existing life cover and liquid assets separate as offsets. Use a safety margin if estate tax, costs or inflation could rise before the policy is needed.
