How much cover is required?

When deciding how much cover is required it is important to consider every aspect of life. The amount of cover required depends on individual needs and circumstances.


These may include but are not necessarily limited to the following factors:

  • Whether you are single or married;
  • Whether you have dependants such as children;
  • Financial obligations such as a mortgage; school fees or personal loans;
  • Current and accessible income, assets and any savings that you have; and
  • Your lifestyle and how much money would be needed to maintain this lifestyle (i.e. ongoing living expenses).

It is important to think about these and any other relevant factors when choosing your cover, to make sure it suits your needs.
