| The Long-Term Care Calculator helps you identify the amount of Long-Term Care insurance that may be required to protect your client’s estate from the erosion caused by long- term care expenses. The calculations allow you to see the future value and present value of the erosion caused with no coverage and with coverage of a specified percentage. It also shows how estate erosion can be totally eliminated with 100% coverage. This calculator takes into consideration both a period of home care and a period of facility care starting at the ages you
select.
If you want to pre-populate this calculator with information from the Client Data Entry screens, you must have entered the Personal Information for your client, as well as completed the Asset Allocation screen. This will override any defaults in the Age, Retire By, Mortality, Inflation Assumption and Return fields.
Example Problem One:
Marc is 40-years old and wants to assume that when he is 80-years old he will have to fund home care expenses of $15000 per month, and when he is 85-years old he will have to fund facility care expenses of $40000 per month. The other assumptions for Marc are below:
- Retire By: 58
- Mortality: 90
- Inflation: 3%
- Return: 8%
- Marginal Tax Rate: 35%
- Percentage to Insure: 50%
How much money would Marc need today if he elected to self-insurance these long-term care expenses? How much would he have to save?

Note: This percentage does not affect the calculations, but will allow you to see the results listed below if Marc chose to purchase insurance to cover half of the costs, and self-insure the rest.
8. Under Home Care Coverage: set the Estimated Costs/Month to $15000, and the Starting Age to age 80 as he indicated.
9. Under Facility Care Coverage, set the Estimated Costs/Month to $40000, and the Starting Age to age 85.
10. Click the button underneath the results section.
11. Identify the Present Value of Capital required under the Self-Insured option – in this case $1356310. This represents the money the client would need today to cover the long- term care expenses himself.
12. Identify the Indexed Savings to Fund Difference required under the Self-Insured option – in this case $94300. This represents the money the client would need to save annually (indexed with inflation) to cover the long-term care expenses himself.

10. Click the button underneath the results section.
Under the Results section, she would have to make Indexed Savings to Fund Difference of $140007 until her retirement to fund these facility expenses herself.
Example Problem Three:
You have clients for which you have already completed the life planning process flow, who now want to see if they have a shortfall in the event of critical illness. They want to plan to fund home care costs at their age 70, for about $20000 each month. Upon age 80, they will move to a proper nursing facility with a monthly cost of $40000.
