Insurance calculators

6 free tools

How much life insurance do you actually need? What will a hospital bill cost you after the deductible kicks in? These tools give you fast, no-signup answers. Run the DIME method for coverage, size an income-replacement policy, or line up two health plans to see which one wins at your expected spend. They're planning estimates, not insurance advice.

Frequently asked questions

Are these numbers exact?

No. They're back-of-the-envelope estimates meant to get you in the right ballpark. Real quotes depend on your age, health, the insurer, and the fine print of a specific policy, so use these to plan and then get actual quotes.

Do the health tools reflect my real plan?

Only as well as the numbers you feed them. Punch in your plan's actual premium, deductible, coinsurance percentage, and out-of-pocket maximum from your Summary of Benefits and the estimate will track your plan closely.

Which life insurance tool should I use?

Start with the DIME calculator — it adds up debts, income, mortgage, and education, which is the most common way to size a policy. Human life value and income replacement are alternate lenses if you want to cross-check that number.
