There are a few ways to think about your coverage amount. A simple way to calculate this is by multiplying your annual salary by 10. Or, you can use the tools below to get a more detailed estimate. Alternatively, you can use the DIME method to add up what you need.
Total coverage = Debt + Income + Mortgage + Education costs

Determining the right term length can depend on several factors. Consider a term that would cover your family for the number of years they would depend on you, financially or otherwise. You may want a term that lasts until:
- You retire
- Your children are grown and are no longer dependents
- Your mortgage is paid off
- You reach your savings goals
If you were to pass away, your loved ones don't just lose you, they also lose the financial support you provide. A term life insurance policy can help your family maintain the lifestyle they've grown to love and provide long-lasting financial security. Your family can use the payout to help cover everyday living expenses and just about anything else they need, such as:
- Funeral costs
- Mortgage or housing costs
- Medical expenses
- Retirement income
- Your student loans or children's college tuition
- Debts
