If you have moved or increased the mortgage for home improvements this policy may not have been kept up to date and therefore it may not cover the whole mortgage.
Loans taken out may include insurance that pays the loan off should a premature death occur. So it is worth while checking your paperwork. If this is the case subtract the loan amount from the above figure
If you already have life insurance policies deduct their sum assured from the total arrived at above.
Your employer may provide a death in service benefit as a multiple of your salary, ask at work as this is cover you already have in place. However remember if you change jobs you may lose this cover, check with any new employer if this cover is in place and how much is provided
If you have a pension fund what does this provide for your family on death this amount can also be taken off the final total if a lump sum or off the income needed to run the household if a regular amount is to be received?
Once you have calculated your capital needs and short, medium and longer-term income requirements you can use a lump-sum life insurance policy to protect your family.
