This covers income replacement and debts. It does not price the policy itself, and it does not account for group coverage through work that may end the day the job does.

In plain English

Life Insurance Needs explained simply

Life insurance is a promise to take care of your family with money if you're not there. This estimates how big that promise should be.

For example

Add up the debts you'd leave behind, years of income your family needs, and future college costs, then subtract savings you already have.
