Inputs

What you can change

Every field visitors can adjust, straight from the calculator, with the same help text they see on the info icon. Each one starts with a sensible default, and the 6 results update as they type.

Your Mortgage

Current Mortgage Balance
The principal you still owe, from your latest mortgage statement.
Interest Rate (%)
Your mortgage's annual interest rate.
Years Remaining
How many years are left until the mortgage is paid off. A term policy of about this length matches the loan.

Coverage

Months of Payments to Add
Extra coverage equal to this many monthly payments, to cover the time before a claim is paid or other housing costs such as taxes and insurance.
Existing Life Insurance for the Mortgage
Coverage you already have that your family would use to pay off the mortgage.

Definitions

Mortgage Protection Insurance terms, defined

The terms this calculator uses, in plain words. The same definitions appear inside the calculator for your visitors.

Mortgage protection insurance
Life insurance bought to pay off a home loan if the borrower dies, so the family can keep the house. It is sold either as decreasing term coverage that follows the loan balance or as level term coverage. With most policies the benefit goes to your beneficiary, who decides how to use it; some lender-sold policies pay the lender directly.
Decreasing term
Coverage whose death benefit shrinks over the policy term, roughly in line with the amortization schedule shown here. Premiums are usually level. It is cheaper than level term, but there is less coverage left each year, so it suits a need that disappears as the loan is paid.
Level term
Coverage that keeps the same death benefit for the whole term. Matching the term to the years left on the loan means the full balance is covered at the start and the excess later in the term can go to the family for other needs.
Mortgage balance
The principal still owed on the loan. Each payment covers that month's interest first and the rest reduces the balance, so early in the loan the balance falls slowly. The 5- and 10-year figures show how much of the coverage would still be needed later.
Payment cushion
Extra coverage equal to a number of monthly payments. It helps the family keep paying while the claim is processed and can cover property taxes, homeowners insurance and HOA dues, which continue after the loan is paid off.
PMI vs. mortgage protection
Private mortgage insurance (PMI) and FHA mortgage insurance premiums (MIP) protect the lender if you stop paying; they pay nothing to your family. Mortgage protection life insurance is a separate, optional policy that protects your household.
Living benefits riders
Optional additions, such as disability or critical illness riders, that can make payments or advance part of the benefit while you are alive. They cost extra and their definitions vary by insurer, so compare the policy wording.
