Formula used

The estimator starts with a reference annual rate per 1,000 coverage and scales it using factors: AgeFactor × HealthFactor × SmokerFactor × GenderFactor × PolicyFactor.

  • Base annual premium: (Coverage ÷ 1,000) × RatePer1k + RiderCosts + AnnualFee
  • Payment-mode load: AnnualPremium × PayFactor (monthly/quarterly loads applied)
  • Taxes/fees: LoadedPremium × (1 + TaxRate)
  • Future premium (year y): Premium₁ × (1 + Inflation)^(y − 1)
  • Present value (year y): Premiumᵧ ÷ (1 + Discount)^(y − 1)
Use inflation to model premium increases, and discount rate to compare future payments in today’s value.
