Foster City, CA – November 1, 2010 – Life insurance shoppers start their buying process with two crucial questions:

• What type of life insurance do I need?
• How much coverage should I buy?

A new life insurance calculator from Insure.com makes it simple for users to find quick answers to these rather complicated questions. The tool offers an individualized analysis of a person’s life insurance needs.

By answering questions about family debt, college-bound children, inheritance plans and other financial obligations, users receive an analysis of whether they need term life or permanent life insurance (or both),  and the amount of coverage they should buy, so they are armed with the information they need to seek life insurance quotes.

Amy Danise, senior managing editor of Insure.com, said, “Our objective with this calculator is to help consumers streamline their decision-making process, so that shopping for life insurance doesn’t feel time-consuming and daunting.”

Insure.com’s life insurance calculator factors in a variety of life situations including debts, family businesses and  inheritance wishes. The interactive calculator keeps a running total of coverage amounts required, and its analysis shows how the user’s answers led to the specific results.
