This tool is ideal for individuals, families, and multi-person plans, helping you budget and compare different insurance options effectively.
How It Works
The calculator factors in multiple elements to provide accurate estimates:
1. Age
Premiums increase with age. Younger individuals generally pay lower premiums, while older individuals pay higher rates.
2. Gender
Females aged 18–45 may have slightly higher premiums due to maternity coverage considerations.
3. Policy Type
Choose the type of policy:
- Individual – Coverage for one person
- Family Floater – Coverage shared among multiple family members
- Multi-Individual – Separate coverage for each person, calculated collectively
4. Sum Insured
The total coverage amount directly affects the base premium.
5. Family Members
Applicable for floater and multi-individual plans, the number of members adjusts the premium proportionally.
6. Pre-existing Conditions
Having pre-existing medical conditions increases the premium.
7. Tobacco Use
Tobacco users face higher premiums due to increased health risks.
