Estimate how much emergency cash you should have to protect your housing and credit.
Defining Your Personal Property
Personal property coverage isn't just for high-value electronics. It encompasses everything from furniture and clothing to kitchen appliances. Accurate valuation ensures that in the event of a total loss, your replacement capacity matches your actual lifestyle requirements without paying for excess limit.
The Real Weight of Liability
Liability coverage protects your future earnings and current assets if you are found responsible for damage to the building or injury to others. While many focus on property theft, a single liability claim can be financially devastating. We help you calibrate this limit based on your net worth and risk profile.
Deductibles vs. Monthly Savings
Choosing a higher deductible reduces your monthly premium, but it increases your immediate financial responsibility during a claim. The optimal choice depends on your emergency fund liquidity. If you can comfortably cover a $1,000 loss, the long-term premium savings often outweigh the risk.
Replacement Cost vs. Actual Cash Value
Understanding the "how" of a payout is as critical as the "how much." Replacement cost coverage pays for new items at current prices, whereas actual cash value factors in depreciation. This distinction significantly changes the utility of your policy during a recovery phase.
Integrated Decision Flow
Our tools are designed to be used independently or in sequence to build a complete risk profile.
Coverage adequacy addresses “how much stuff you have”
Liability exposure addresses “what you could be responsible for”
Deductible choice affects how claims feel, not whether you’re protected
