To determine how much life insurance is enough, some things need to be considered.

Who depends on your income?

If you were to die tomorrow, who would suffer from the loss of your income? This is an important consideration. If you have a wife or a partner who counts on you or if you have children, this is something you need to consider carefully. 

How much you earn

The amount that you earn every year is one of the primary considerations. Your life insurance is designed to replace your earnings so your family will be taken care of when you are not there to support them. Therefore, the base figure for determining how much life insurance is enough is your yearly income. 

How many years do you need to provide for

If you only have a spouse or partner, you may have to provide for a few years or, at the very least, make sure to provide enough to pay off any mortgage you may have. You may have to provide for many years if you have young children. 

To come up with the amount of insurance that is enough for you, you need to multiply your earnings by the number of years you need to provide them.
