Formula Used
The estimated premium is calculated using the following formula:
Premium Estimation Formula
Premium = (Coverage Amount × Age Factor × Gender Factor × Plan Factor) + Base Premium
Where:
- Coverage Amount = Selected coverage amount in INR
- Age Factor = 1.0 for ages 18-30, 1.2 for 31-45, 1.5 for 46-60, 2.0 for 61+
- Gender Factor = 1.0 for male, 1.1 for female
- Plan Factor = 1.0 for basic, 1.2 for standard, 1.5 for premium
- Base Premium = 500 INR
This formula provides a reasonable estimate based on industry averages and actuarial tables. The actual premium may vary based on your specific health history and underwriting process.
Example Calculation
Let's calculate the estimated premium for a 35-year-old female with a standard plan covering 500,000 INR:
Example Calculation
Premium = (500,000 × 1.2 × 1.1 × 1.2) + 500
Premium = (500,000 × 1.584) + 500
Premium = 792,000 + 500 = 792,500 INR
This example shows that a 35-year-old female with a standard plan covering 500,000 INR would have an estimated premium of 792,500 INR per year.
