How Do Health Insurance Calculators Work?
Health insurance calculators help you determine adequate health coverage for your family by calculating coverage based on city tier, family size, age, and existing coverage. Here's a step-by-step explanation:
Enter Family and Location Details
Select family type (individual or family floater), city tier (metro/tier1/tier2), and ages of all family members. Metro cities require higher coverage due to expensive medical costs, typically 1.5x base coverage.
Specify Existing Coverage
Enter any existing health insurance coverage you already have. The calculator will recommend additional coverage if needed. Consider top-up plans for higher coverage at affordable premiums.
Calculate Recommended Coverage
The calculator determines coverage based on city tier, family size, age of oldest member, and existing coverage. For individuals: Minimum ₹5L, Recommended ₹10L. For families: Minimum ₹10L, Recommended ₹15-20L. Review your coverage annually.
