Debt + Income + Mortgage + Education

A simple formula to ensure your family has the financial protection they need.

Credit cards, car loans, student loans, medical bills—everything except your mortgage.
Your annual income multiplied by the number of years you want to replace it (typically 5-10 years).
The remaining balance on your home mortgage to keep your family in their home.
Future college costs for your children (approximately $100,000-$200,000 per child for 4-year college).

Recommended Coverage Amount

$0

This amount would provide comprehensive protection for your family's financial future.

Why Life Insurance Matters

💝 Protect Your Loved Ones

Life insurance ensures your family can maintain their lifestyle, pay off debts, and pursue their dreams even if you're not there to provide for them. It's the ultimate act of love and responsibility.

🏠 Keep Your Home

Your mortgage is likely your largest debt. Life insurance guarantees your family can stay in their home, avoiding the trauma of losing both a loved one and their home during an already difficult time.

🎓 Fund Education

College costs continue to rise. Life insurance ensures your children's educational dreams remain achievable, providing them with opportunities you've always envisioned for them.

💼 Replace Income

Your income supports your family's lifestyle. Life insurance replaces years of lost income, allowing your spouse to focus on healing and family rather than immediate financial survival.

🏥 Cover Final Expenses

Funeral and burial costs average $10,000-$15,000. Life insurance prevents your family from depleting savings or going into debt during an emotionally challenging time.

⏰ Lock In Low Rates

You're healthiest and youngest right now. Life insurance costs increase with age and health issues. Locking in coverage today protects your insurability and saves thousands over time.

The Cost of Waiting

Life insurance premiums increase approximately 8-10% for every year you age. A healthy 30-year-old can lock in rates that are 30-40% lower than the same person at age 35. Additionally, unexpected health changes can make you uninsurable or dramatically increase costs. The best time to get life insurance is always now.
