How to use our Keyperson Insurance Calculator
Our Keyperson Insurance Calculator helps Australian businesses estimate an appropriate level of key person insurance cover for people whose death, permanent disablement or serious illness could affect profits, client continuity, debt servicing and overall business stability. It is important because underinsuring can leave cashflow, loans and succession plans exposed, while overinsuring can increase premiums and strain budgets. The calculator provides planning estimates for life-style, TPD-style and trauma-style keyperson cover, based on disruption and financial impact assumptions you enter.

7. Contingency, legal and recruitment buffer (percent)

8. Round recommendations to
Select a rounding option that matches how you prefer to set benefit amounts (for example nearest 10000).

How to interpret results
The Calculator Summary shows total recommended life-style, TPD-style and trauma-style keyperson cover across all key people. Life-style cover is built around profit at risk, debt support and continuity costs if the person is permanently lost. TPD-style cover adds allowance for longer-term operational restructuring. Trauma-style cover is designed for shorter-term liquidity support during serious illness or injury disruption. Use the JSON summary for cleaner handoff when requesting a quote.

ASIC’s latest review of mortgage broker conduct has put a spotlight on how loan recommendations are explained, documented and challenged when a cheaper option is available.

Australia’s motorcycle market is ahead of last year after the first nine months of 2026, but the latest FCAI-audited figures point to a recovery driven mainly by off-road demand rather than a uniform lift across every type of bike.
