Many of you may be wondering how much coverage you should apply for when getting life insurance.  Many sites will have life insurance calculators, or formulas you can use to help determine the amount of life insurance you should get.  You can go to Forbes website to see a simple life insurance calculator.  Or, Wholesale Insurance also has a couple different calculators you can use.

One of the most common life insurance formulas people use to determine how much life insurance they should get is to multiply yearly income by a factor of 8 to 15.  Really you should look at how much your family will need in your absence.  This includes costs for day to day living, mortgage, cars, insurance, and also schooling for your children.

You should really speak with a life insurance agent or one of the customer service representatives at Wholesale Insurance to make sure that you are applying for the right amount of life insurance.
