If you have a shortfall, calculate how much this additional insurance will cost you by dividing the shortfall by $1,000 and then multiply this amount by the annual cost for your age (use the Build Your Own Cover Scale).
For example, a 40 year old with a shortfall of $510,000 will need 510 additional units of cover and will pay $0.83 per annum for every $1,000 of insurance.
|
A – B – C =
$510,000 (D)
cost is: $510,000/1,000 =510 x $0.83
= $423.30
