How much life insurance do you need?

It's not easy for anyone to think about dying, but everyone wants to make sure their loved ones are looked after. Should something happen to you, life insurance could help provide financial security for your family.

It can help towards paying an outstanding mortgage or help protect the family's lifestyle and everyday living expenses. But how much cover do you need? Our calculator helps you work out how much life insurance could suit your needs.

You’ve considered the amount of cover, what now? With Churchill Life Insurance, provided by AIG, you'll be asked a few simple questions, so it's handy to have the following details to hand:

If you need to, it's easy to go back and edit your answers. This may change the quote. Once you're happy with your quote, you can apply online.
