Uses calculateLifeInsuranceNeeds with the Korean survivor funding model, National Pension survivor estimate, retirement pay, asset offset, coverage ratio, and tax-deduction estimate. This English finance calculator calls the same Korean pure calculation module as the Korean page. KRW, Korean statutory thresholds, tax rates, and product rules are preserved instead of the old generic percentage stub.

Life insurance needs guide

This English guide translates the Korean life insurance needs calculator. The calculator calls calculateLifeInsuranceNeeds and keeps the Korean family funding model rather than using a flat income multiple.

Funding needs

The model estimates survivor living expense, child education, debt repayment, funeral cost, parent support, and emergency fund needs. Each item is separated because a household with mortgage debt and young children needs a different coverage structure from a household with no dependents.

Monthly income and expense are entered in manwon units on the Korean page. The English output converts those values into KRW display while preserving the underlying units used by the Korean engine.

Existing resources

The calculator offsets savings, retirement pay, existing life insurance, group insurance, and a National Pension survivor estimate. This prevents double-counting needs that are already covered by public pension, assets, or employer group coverage.

The coverage ratio compares existing resources with total fund needed. A low coverage ratio means the additional coverage amount is more important than the premium of one isolated product.

Product mix and tax note

The Korean result can recommend term, whole, or other protection products based on the additional coverage gap and household stage. The goal is not to maximize premium, but to cover the most material survivor-funding gaps first.

The annual tax deduction output is kept for Korean tax planning, but it should not drive the insurance amount by itself. Protection need, affordability, and existing coverage remain the primary checks.
