Through proper insurance ,whether it is on your health, home, or life you can secure future of your beloved in case you are not present in future.

The calculation of exact amount of insurance policy or sub assured under insurance to cover all your future liabilities is a Herculean Task. But it is very important to calculated the type and amount of insurance policy to be taken to secure all future liabilities and to save such amount from insurance so that the level of life will not affect.

We have to choose an insurance plan depends upon our present and future need and of course your income.

LET’S FIRST CALCULATE HUMAN VALUE OF A PERSON;

 For example, Mr. A , 25 years aged an Engineer earning Rs. 2,00000/- per month and after deduction of TDS and personal expenses his monthly income is Rs. 125000/-. Let’s suppose he will work till age of 60 years  and there will be @10% increase in his salary every year.

Let’s consider Rate of interest @8%
Total Earning in 35 years Rs. 40,65,36,550/-
Present Value of Total Earning @8% Rs. 2,74,95,910/-

 We find that Mr. A’a human life value today is Rs. 2,74,95,910/-. But it is not possible for every person to take insurance equivalent to his human value.
