How is my recommended cover calculated?
We recommend an insurance coverage amount that considers both your outstanding loans and the recurring expenses of your dependents.
To calculate the cover needed, we assume: Future expenses will increase due to inflation (usually up to 6% p.a.)Cover received will be invested in an FD or savings account giving returns (usually up to 8% p.a.) to keep pace with inflation.
