Calculates how much life insurance coverage you need based on your financial situation.
Formula
const annualIncome = Math.max(0, Number(inputs.annualIncomeToReplace || 0)); const years = Math.max(0, Number(inputs.replacementYears || 0)); const debts = Math.max(0, Number(inputs.outstandingDebts || 0)); const futureNeeds = Math.max(0, Number(inputs.futureFinancialNeeds || 0)); const existingCoverage = Math.max(0, Number(inputs.existingLifeCoverage || 0)); const availableAssets = Math.max(0, Number(inputs.liquidAssetsForNeeds || 0)); const incomeReplacementScenario = Math.round((annualIncome * years) * 100) / 100; const additionalEnteredNeeds = Math.round((debts + futureNeeds) * 100) / 100; const enteredCoverageAndAssets = Math.round((existingCoverage + availableAssets) * 100) / 100; const modeledCoverageGap = Math.round(Math.max(0, incomeReplacementScenario + additionalEnteredNeeds - enteredCoverageAndAssets) * 100) / 100; return { incomeReplacementScenario, additionalEnteredNeeds, enteredCoverageAndAssets, modeledCoverageGap };Annual Income to Replace ($)

With the default inputs, replacing $100,000 of annual income for 10 years creates a $1,000,000 income-replacement scenario. Adding $450,000 of debts and future needs, then subtracting $150,000 of existing coverage and liquid assets, produces a $1,300,000 modeled coverage gap.
