They have also told you that they would be like to replace 80% of her income until her planned age of retirement, and they want to include funeral expenses worth $10,000. They also want to be able to pay off the remainder of their mortgage immediately – a value of about $100,000. Solution using the Life Insurance Calculator: In order to upload as much completed information as possible to the calculator, click the drop-down menu beside Scenario and choose Spouse’s Death. Immediately, the following fields will have changed from default values, to data already entered on other screens: Current Age, Current Earned Income, Replace Income to Age, Inflation, Current Insurance Coverage and Lump Sum Benefits. The Percentage to Replace Salary field should be set to 80%. Even though the Replace Income to Age was uploaded from the Personal Information screen, we could still elect to change it. As a default, it plans to replace income until the age of retirement. This may not always be the case – but for your clients this is correct. The Inflation can be left as is. The After Tax Rate of Return is a defaulted to the client’s inflation assumption plus 2.0% but could be overridden with a higher or lower assumption In the Lump Sum Costs field, the clients wanted to include two expenses, with individual costs of $10,000 and $100,000: or $110,000 total. Set this field to $110,000. Click Calculate at the bottom of the screen. Click Save once the results have populated to save the scenario. Problem Example Two: In the event of the client’s death, the spouse would like to be able to pay some lump sum costs without worrying about encroaching on capital she was saving for retirement. The lump sum costs include: funeral expenses of $15,000, paying down the mortgage balance: currently $100,000 and the employment of a nanny for their son that she expects will cost $10,000 for one year. The spouse wants to fund the replacement of 60.0% of the client’s income. Solution using the Life Insurance Calculator: In order to upload as much completed information as possible to the calculator, click the drop-down menu beside Scenario and choose Client’s Death. The Percentage to Replace Salary field should be set to 60% as the spouse indicated. Even though the Replace Income to Age was uploaded from the Personal Information screen, we could still elect to change it. As a default, it plans to replace income until the age of retirement, which is correct. The After Tax Rate of Return is defaulted to the client’s inflation assumption plus 2.0%. Unless you wanted to override this value with a higher or lower assumption, this field can be left alone. The spouse wanted to include three immediate expenses, with individual costs of $15,000, $10,000 and $100,000, or $125,000 total. Set the Lump Sum Costs field to $125,000.

They have also told you that they would be like to replace 80% of her income until her planned age of retirement, and they want to include funeral expenses worth $10,000.
