The Insurance Hub estimates five coverage lines — Auto, Home or Renters, Term Life, Disability, and Umbrella (Supplemental) — using the same back-of-envelope math a fee-only financial planner would run on a legal pad in the first fifteen minutes of a client meeting. Nothing is pulled from an external carrier API, nothing is predictive-pricing your individual risk, and nothing you type leaves this browser tab.
Term life uses the standard DIME-style multiplier (Debt, Income, Mortgage, Education): 8× your pre-tax income if you have a partner, 10-12× if there are children. The policy term is sized to the window until your youngest dependent is 18-22, which is why we return 20 or 30 years rather than something arbitrary.
Disability (LTD) targets a 60 % after-tax income replacement — the number almost every reputable advisor lands on because it tracks typical personal-expense ratios net of commuting, work clothing, and payroll taxes that disappear if you're not working. We subtract your reported employer coverage and surface the monthly shortfall a private policy would need to fill.
Auto liability is sized to your income tier (100/200, 250/500, or 500/1000 thousand dollar limits) because a jury award in a serious crash tracks your ability to pay — and uninsured/underinsured motorist is set to match it so you're never the best-insured party in your own accident. Home or renters is sized to replacement cost (not market value for homes, 12-15× monthly rent for renters' personal property). Umbrella triggers once your proxy net worth crosses roughly $200k — the point where a plaintiff's attorney starts caring about your assets, not just your base policy limits.
