LIA Singapore floats online life insurance calculator

The calculator generates a report of the user’s financial resources and commitments.

Life Insurance Association (LIA) Singapore has launched an online life insurance calculator which generates a downloadable report of a user’s financial resources and commitments, according to a press release.

The calculator, which can be found on the LIA website, hopes to help customers have a better understanding of their financial protection needs. Singapore currently has a 20% mortality and 80% critical illness (CI) protection gaps amounting to $893b, based on a LIA Protection Gap Study in 2017.

A follow-up study revealed that the gaps were caused by several reasons such as seeing insurance premium payments as losses and having an overconfident approach to finance.

Users wanting to avail of the service can go to the website, answer a questionnaire, and will be prompted to download the results with information on the cost of estimated expenses needed upon death and/or diagnosis of a CI.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
