This calculator is provided by TAL Life Limited (ABN 70 050 109 450 AFSL number 237848, ‘TAL’) for and on behalf of LGIAsuper Trustee (ABN 94 085 088 484, AFSL number 230511, ‘LGIAsuper’).
The purpose of this calculator is to estimate the amount of life insurance benefits and the cost of those benefits to help you in deciding the level of protection which is suitable for your circumstances.
There are many types of life insurance benefits available in the market and no product is identical to another. This calculator only considers three life insurance benefit types, being Death, Total and Permanent Disablement (TPD) and Income Protection (IP).
The calculator is not intended to be relied on for the purposes of making a decision in relation to any specific financial product. We therefore recommend that you consider obtaining financial advice from an Australian Financial Services Licensee and consider the relevant Product Disclosure Statement before making any decisions about acquiring or continuing to hold the product. TAL and LGIAsuper do not accept any liability for any loss or damage arising from any person relying on any information provided by the calculator.
The way the calculator works is by estimating amounts based on a combination of factors entered by you and a number of assumptions. The factors to be entered by your include information about your assets, liabilities, income and expenses. The assumptions used by the calculator include items you cannot change (these are matters fixed by legislation including the superannuation guarantee levy) and items which you can vary (such as the rate of inflation you think might be relevant to you). The assumptions you can and cannot change are identified in the calculator.
The factors you can enter and the assumptions selected have both been chosen by us based on a reasonable appraisal of circumstances commonly taken into account when people consider the protection life insurance can provide. Where you do not vary the assumptions you are able to change, the calculator will default to amounts we have selected based on reputable surveys and studies (called “default assumptions”). The default assumptions are based on a combination of government legislation, regulatory guidance and reputable surveys and studies.
This calculator is only intended to be a general illustration of life insurance needs based on the assumptions and limitations set out in the calculator. It is also limited by the accuracy of the data you input into the calculator.
The calculator bases the estimates on the current legislative environment. This legislative environment, along with your personal circumstances, can change suddenly and the calculator is unable to predict those changes. It is also subject to a limitation that its estimates only take into account the general features of the life insurance products benefit types we have considered when preparing the calculator.
We also think you should consider these important factors when using the calculator:
