How It Works

The DIME method calculates life insurance needs by adding up Debt, Income replacement, Mortgage payoff, and Education costs. Most financial planners recommend 10-12x your annual income as a starting point, then adjusting for specific obligations. Subtract existing savings and coverage to find your gap.
