Step 2.
What are your financial risks?

Now knowing your chances of death it is also worth knowing the financial burden you could leave your loved ones should something happen. The calculator below should help you to start thinking about the level of cover that would be required to help your beneficiaries through such difficult times.

The figure provided below is for illustrative purposes only and does not constitute financial advice, please speak to a financial adviser to ensure you have adequate financial protection in place.

We have designed this calculator to help you better understand your own outstanding risks based on the value of your property portfolio and any outstanding mortgages.
Conservative Estimate of Property Values
£ 

Mortgages Outstanding

 

£ 
Rental Income
£   per month

 

if (isset($_POST[‘propertyvalue’])) $propertyvalue = $_POST[‘propertyvalue’];
if (isset($_POST[‘mortgageoutstanding’])) $mortgageoutstanding = $_POST[‘mortgageoutstanding’];
if (isset($_POST[‘rentalincome’])) $rentalincome = $_POST[‘rentalincome’];

$calculationa = ($mortgageoutstanding – ($propertyvalue*.7))+(0.05*$propertyvalue);
$calculationb = $mortgageoutstanding – (($rentalincome*12)/.13)+(0.05*$propertyvalue);
if ($propertyvalue == “”)
{}
elseif(($calculationa $yourriskresult = ‘

Given your outstanding mortgage is significantly lower than the estimated value of your property portfolio it is unlikely your beneficiaries would require a significant level of life insurance to refinance your portfolio.

You may want to at least consider covering the associated costs of refinancing which could be in the region of £’.number_format(round((.05*$propertyvalue),2)).’.

‘;
elseif ($calculationa > $calculationb)
{$yourriskresult = ‘

Your beneficiaries are likely to need at least

£’.number_format(round($calculationa,2)).’

to refinance your property portfolio.

Based on your inputs and a number of assumptions with regards to Minimum Interest Cover (130%), Maximum Loan-to-Value (70%) and Payable Interest Rate (10%) there would be a minimum sum which would be required by your beneficiaries to refinance your portfolio should the worst happen. This figure should be discussed with a financial adviser however we are able to provide a rough estimate above.

‘;
$covertransfer = round($calculationa,0);
}
else
{$yourriskresult = ‘

Your beneficiaries are likely to need at least

£’.number_format(round($calculationb,2)).’

to refinance your property portfolio.

Based on your inputs and a number of assumptions with regards to Minimum Interest Cover (130%), Maximum Loan-to-Value (70%) and Payable Interest Rate (10%) there would be a minimum sum which would be required by your beneficiaries to refinance your portfolio should the worst happen.
