Health Insurance Need Calculator
Estimate health cover based on family size, city, and medical inflation.
About this calculator
Hospital bills in metros can run into lakhs. This calculator suggests a base health cover from your family size and city tier, inflates it for medical cost growth, and shows how much additional cover you may need beyond your existing policy.
Results are estimates for education only. Product suitability and premiums depend on insurer underwriting and market conditions.

Understanding Health Insurance Need Calculator
Medical inflation in India often runs higher than general inflation. A health insurance need estimate helps you choose a sum insured that can handle hospitalisation in your city — especially for a family floater.
How this calculator works
Based on family size, eldest member’s age, city tier, medical inflation, and existing cover, the calculator suggests a planning-level sum insured and the additional cover you may still need.
Example
A family of four in a metro city with an eldest member around 45 often needs a higher base cover than the same family in a smaller town — and inflation over 5 years can push the suggested cover higher still.
Practical tips
- Check network hospitals, room-rent limits, and waiting periods carefully.
- Consider a super top-up if base cover feels expensive.
- Disclose medical history honestly to avoid claim issues later.
Limitations
Indicative only. Final premium and eligibility depend on age, health, and insurer underwriting.
