Important Note
Health insurance premiums are subject to change based on actuarial rates and market conditions. The calculator provides an estimate based on current assumptions, but actual premiums may vary.
Formula Used
The estimated health insurance premium is calculated using the following formula:
Premium Estimate Formula
Premium = (Sum Assured × Age Factor × Plan Factor) / 1000
Where:
- Sum Assured = The amount of coverage you want
- Age Factor = A multiplier based on your age (younger ages have lower factors)
- Plan Factor = A multiplier based on the type of plan (comprehensive plans have higher factors)
The calculator uses standard age factors and plan factors based on industry averages. For precise premiums, consult with an HDFC Life Insurance representative.
Worked Example
Let's calculate the estimated premium for a 35-year-old individual with a sum assured of ₹5,00,000 and a comprehensive plan:
Example Calculation
Sum Assured = ₹5,00,000
Age Factor (for 35 years) = 1.2
Plan Factor (comprehensive) = 1.5
Premium = (5,00,000 × 1.2 × 1.5) / 1000 = ₹900 per month
This example shows that a comprehensive health insurance plan for ₹5,00,000 coverage would cost approximately ₹900 per month for a 35-year-old individual.
