Life insurance is a must — but how much is enough? Buying too little puts your family at financial risk, while too much strains your budget. A good rule is the “10 to 15 times your annual income” formula. So if you earn ₹6 lakhs/year, you need ₹60–90 lakhs in life cover.
But don’t stop there. Consider your:
- Existing loans (home, personal, education)
- Number of dependents and their lifestyle
- Future goals (child’s education, marriage)
- Emergency needs and inflation
Also factor in assets you already have, like savings or property. Choose term life insurance for maximum coverage at low premium. Avoid mixing insurance with investment.
Make sure premiums are affordable long-term. Use online life insurance calculators for better estimates.
Remember, life insurance isn’t for you — it’s for your loved ones. Protect their future today with the right cover.
