How to Use This Calculator
Using our PolicyBazaar Health Insurance Premium Calculator is simple and straightforward:

The calculator will display your estimated monthly premium based on the inputs provided. You can then compare this with other plans or adjust your inputs to see how they affect the premium.
Formula Used
The calculator uses a simplified formula to estimate health insurance premiums:
Where:
- Coverage Amount is the sum insured you select
- Age Factor is determined by your age (younger ages have lower factors)
- Gender Factor accounts for gender-specific health risks
- Term Factor adjusts for the length of coverage
- The result is divided by 12 to convert the annual premium to monthly
This is an estimate only. Actual premiums may vary based on your specific health history, location, and other factors not accounted for in this simplified model.
Worked Example
Let's calculate a premium for a 35-year-old male with a coverage of ₹5,00,000 for 20 years:
- Age Factor: 1.2 (for age 35)
- Gender Factor: 1.1 (for male)
- Term Factor: 1.05 (for 20 years)
- Calculation: (500000 × 1.2 × 1.1 × 1.05) / 12 = ₹4,687.50 per month
This example shows that a 35-year-old male with ₹5,00,000 coverage would pay approximately ₹4,687.50 per month for a 20-year policy.
Interpreting Results
The premium estimate provides a starting point for understanding potential costs. Keep these factors in mind when interpreting your results:
- Younger ages typically result in lower premiums
- Higher coverage amounts increase premiums
- Longer policy terms may increase premiums
- Health status and location can significantly affect actual premiums
Use this calculator as a guide, but always consult with a financial advisor or insurance professional for personalized advice.
