Term insurance calculator questions.
Keep these points in mind as you run scenarios.
Why does protection shrink for older ages?
There is less time for investments to grow, and expenses may have already risen due to inflation.
What is a safe return rate?
It is a conservative rate used to estimate how much the corpus could earn in low-risk instruments.
Should I increase cover as my income rises?
Often, yes. Higher income usually means higher lifestyle costs and larger goals.
Does this replace professional advice?
No. Use this as a planning aid, then discuss with a qualified advisor if needed.
