Formula Used
Premium Calculation Formula
The estimated monthly premium is calculated using the following formula:
Premium = (Sum Insured × Age Factor × Gender Factor × Plan Factor) / 12
Where:
- Age Factor - Increases with age (1.0 for 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, 1.5 for Standard, 2.0 for Premium
This formula provides a reasonable estimate based on industry averages. Actual premiums may vary based on specific insurance company rates and additional coverage options.
Worked Example
Let's calculate the premium for a 35-year-old female with ₹5,00,000 sum insured and a Standard plan:
- Age Factor: 1.2 (31-45 age group)
- Gender Factor: 1.1 (female)
- Plan Factor: 1.5 (Standard plan)
- Calculation: (500,000 × 1.2 × 1.1 × 1.5) / 12 = ₹6,600
The estimated monthly premium would be ₹6,600.
Note
This is an estimate. Actual premiums may differ based on the insurance provider and additional coverage options you select.
