A life insurance calculator is a tool which estimates the funds which you would require in the event of your death, in order to repay your borrowings and other debts, to pay for funeral costs and other final expenses, and to provide for the financial upkeep of your dependants.

The KiwiCover life insurance calculator employs proprietary modelling techniques to calculate an amount of life insurance cover based on your inputs.

Important: This life insurance calculator calculates an amount of cover based on the data you enter. It does not provide financial advice, and it takes no account of your personal insurance needs or circumstances. This calculator should not be relied upon in making a decision about insurance. If you are unable to (or do not wish to) determine your cover requirements yourself, then read our section about obtaining advice.
