About 2 minutes • No pressure • Educational information only
Start with what you're trying to protect: your income, your family, your home, your car, or your health. The type of coverage that matters most usually follows directly from the thing that would be hardest to replace.
A common starting point is the income your household would need to replace, plus debts and future costs such as education. Term and permanent policies solve different problems, and the right amount depends on how long that need lasts.
Term covers you for a set number of years and generally costs less. Permanent coverage lasts for life and can build cash value, which makes it more expensive and more complex.

There is no single correct life insurance amount. Here are the common frameworks people use to estimate a coverage need, what each one accounts for, and where each one falls short.
