Calculating how much Life insurance you may need

Debt

Personal debts include credit cards, car payments, lines of credit, and any other personal debts.

Income

Your family depends on your income to help cover living expenses. How much income would they need without you, and how long would they need it?

Mortgage

Most likely, you'd want your family to be able to keep the life you've made for them if something were to happen. What would it take for your family to pay off your mortgage if you were gone?

Education

Do your children attend public or private school? What are those costs per year?

Also, think about college. Do you expect your children to pay for part of it themselves or take out loans? Or do you want to leave them enough to cover it all?
