About the Insurance Calculator

This insurance calculator helps estimate how much cover you might need and compare indicative annual premiums across common types of insurance — including life insurance, income protection, and home and contents insurance. It is designed as a planning tool to give you a starting point before speaking with an insurance broker or adviser.

How to Use It

  1. Select the type of insurance you want to estimate cover for.
  2. Enter your relevant details — income, age, property value, or other inputs as prompted.
  3. Review the indicative cover amount and premium range.
  4. Use the result as a reference point when comparing quotes from insurers or speaking with a broker.

Key Insurance Considerations for Australians

In Australia, some insurance types are mandatory — Compulsory Third Party (CTP) insurance for vehicles, for example — while others are optional but strongly recommended. Life insurance can be held inside your superannuation fund at group rates, which is often significantly cheaper than retail policies. Income protection insurance covers up to 70% of your gross income if you are unable to work due to illness or injury. Home and contents insurance is not legally required but is strongly advisable for homeowners. Always compare multiple quotes and read the Product Disclosure Statement (PDS) before purchasing any insurance policy.

No. The figures produced by this tool are indicative estimates only, based on general assumptions. Actual insurance premiums depend on many individual factors including age, health history, claims history, property location, and the specific policy terms. Contact a licensed insurance broker or compare policies directly on comparison sites such as Canstar or iSelect for accurate quotes.
