Formula Used
Premium Calculation Formula
The estimated premium (P) is calculated using:
P = (Base Rate × Coverage Factor × Age Factor × Health Factor × Policy Factor) / 12
Where:
- Base Rate = ₹1,200 (average base rate for 2 lakh coverage)
- Coverage Factor = 1.0 (for 2 lakh coverage)
- Age Factor = 1.0 to 2.5 (based on age brackets)
- Health Factor = 0.8 to 1.5 (based on health status)
- Policy Factor = 1.0 (individual) or 1.5 (family)
The final premium is divided by 12 to convert the annual premium to a monthly estimate.
Worked Example
Let's calculate the premium for a 35-year-old male with good health status and an individual policy:
- Base Rate = ₹1,200
- Coverage Factor = 1.0
- Age Factor (35 years) = 1.2
- Health Factor (good) = 1.0
- Policy Factor (individual) = 1.0
Annual Premium = 1,200 × 1.0 × 1.2 × 1.0 × 1.0 = ₹1,440
Monthly Premium = ₹1,440 / 12 = ₹120
Note
Actual premiums may vary based on specific insurer rates and additional policy features.
