    Is Rs. 50 Lakh Enough Life Insurance in Nepal? (2082/83 Check)

    For a family spending NPR 4 lakh per year, Rs. 50L covers roughly 12 years of expenses — before accounting for loans or education. If you have a home loan of Rs. 30–50L, your true need may be NPR 80L–1.5Cr. Run the assessment above to find your personalised number.

    How Much Life Insurance Does a Family of Four Need in Nepal?

    A family of four with two school-age children typically needs NPR 1–2 Cr of cover to address: 20+ years of household expenses, a home loan, and two full education funds (NPR 20–40L each for professional degrees). The needs-based method accounts for all of this — and deducts what you already have in savings.

    Why Are Most Nepali Families Underinsured?

    Nepal Insurance Authority data shows the average sum assured per policy is well below what a household actually needs. Most people buy the plan an agent recommends — not the amount their family requires. Tools like this one, which calculate need first and match coverage second, are how you avoid that gap.

    Mero Pariwarko Lagi Kati Ko Beema Chahincha? (How Much Insurance Does My Family Need?)

    The standard needs-based formula: (Annual household expenses × years of support needed) + outstanding loans + children's education fund − existing savings and investments. For most Nepali families, this results in a coverage need of NPR 50 lakh to NPR 2 crore. Use the calculator above to get your personalised figure.

    Beema Ko Coverage Gap K Ho? (What Is a Coverage Gap in Insurance?)

    A coverage gap is the difference between the life insurance cover your family needs and what you currently have. If you have NPR 25 lakh of existing cover but your family needs NPR 1 crore, your gap is NPR 75 lakh. The Need Assessment tool calculates this automatically and shows the minimum additional cover you should purchase.
