Whole Life Insurance Calculator

One of the most useful tools online for insurance shoppers is the whole life insurance calculator. These handy online devices can tell you how much coverage you need and how much you can expect to pay. The first thing you need to do is locate the right calculator as there are a variety of them online. Any major search engine like Google or Yahoo can lead you to listings of sites that feature life insurance calculators. Even if you don't have a lot of Internet experience you can easily use one of these online calculators.


You will have to answer questions relating to life insurance. For example you may be asked if you have a 401k plan or other retirement account. One reason for this is because whole life insurance can be used as an investment vehicle. There are different types of whole life insurance such as variable and universal policies that can gain cash value. Every cent you put in above your premium will be invested into conservative bonds and mutual funds. However with a variable policy you have more investment choices like stocks and you can choose where your money goes.

A calculator may ask you about your current financial situation. Actually, some of these calculators could better be described as questionnaires. For example, Bankrate asks a variety of different questions including how would you best describe your investment strategy and what you do with leftover money after your bills are paid. The Bankrate calculator is multiple choice, you just select the answer that is most like you.

After you've completed the steps required by the whole life insurance calculator that you've chosen, you will be presented with a figure. This figure will represent how much life insurance you need and what your estimated cost may be. If you are paying annual premiums you can calculate what your payment will be each year. You may also decide to pay monthly premiums if annual premiums do not appeal to you. You should know that calculators and free quotes offered online are basic tools that do not replace the services of an insurance agent. Once you've decided upon a whole life insurance policy or even have a basic idea of what you want, an agent can lead you through the application and policy activation process.
