Loans, credit cards & other debts
Total up all the non-mortgage debt you have: loans, credit cards, overdrafts and any other borrowing
Potential funeral costs
The average UK funeral costs between £4,000 and £5,000. If you have expensive tastes or a massive family, it may be more. Worth thinking about.
Childcare, school or higher education costs
You’ll know your childcare, private school or tuition fee obligations. But did you know it costs roughly £1,500 - £2,500 per year to fund one child through state school? There’s sports, activities, after school clubs, uniforms, travel expenses, technology (such as a laptop or iPad) to consider.
Additional lump sum
Life insurance covers your obligations and debt. A lump sum on top offers extra comfort and options for your family after you’ve gone
Existing life insurance, savings & investments
Total up any savings, investments and life insurance policies that you intend to keep. When you die your savings go towards your debt anyway - so it’s important you’re not ‘over-insured’. That’s just a waste of money.
