The Critical Illness Calculator illustrates the replacement of annual income for a specified number of years, plus any lump sum costs the client may experience such as exceptional health costs not covered by existing health insurance or government programs, possible costs to lifestyle changes and so on.
You can use this calculator as a stand alone calculator or you can pull data from an existing client. When you do this it will pull in information about your client like current age, current earned income and inflation rate. It will also pull in some defaults to provide you with a starting point.
