How to figure out how much life insurance you need

Most people either guess or pick a round number, and both lead to families being underinsured. A cleaner way is the D.I.M.E. method, which stands for Debt, Income, Mortgage, and Education. You add up what your family would actually have to cover if your paycheck disappeared, then subtract what you already have set aside. The number that remains is a sensible coverage target, and it is exactly what the calculator above works out for you.

What the D.I.M.E. method covers

Debt. Credit cards, car loans, and personal loans do not disappear when you do. Income. Your family relies on your paycheck for daily life, so we replace it for the number of years they would need to stay on their feet. Mortgage. Paying off or covering the home loan keeps your family in the house during the hardest season of their lives. Education. If you have children, funding their schooling protects the future you were building for them.

It usually costs less than you think

Research from LIMRA shows most people overestimate the price of life insurance by a wide margin, which is one reason so many families stay unprotected. A healthy adult who locks in term coverage often pays less than a streaming bundle. The younger and healthier you are today, the lower the rate you can lock in for the life of the policy. The only way to know your real number is to see an actual rate, which is what the request above is for.
