Open toolSources & methodology
Where these numbers and details come from
Insurance tools use the details you enter and clearly labelled planning assumptions. They are designed to prepare a comparison, not reproduce an insurer’s pricing, underwriting or claim decision.
Current quotes and policy wording always take priority. Guidance from regulators, government travel advice and industry sources explains what should be checked around the estimate.

Using these tools
Compare insurance costs and cover without mixing the questions
Start with a travel or pet insurance estimate using only the details that materially shape the first result. Optional settings, visible assumptions and source links help you prepare for comparable quotes without presenting a planning model as an insurer price.
Start with the decision you need to make
A cost calculator estimates or compares premiums, while a cover calculator explores how much financial protection may be needed. Rebuild and contents tools focus on replacement amounts, and excess comparisons show the trade-off between an ongoing premium and the amount paid when making a claim.
Each tool has one primary purpose and permanent URL. Closely related questions are handled as features within that tool instead of being split into near-duplicate pages.
Use estimates as preparation, not a policy decision
Actual premiums, eligibility, exclusions, waiting periods, limits and claim outcomes depend on the insurer and policy wording. Where a reliable market-wide price cannot be calculated, a tool may compare quotes entered by the user rather than inventing a premium.
Results will show the method, assumptions and limitations used. Before buying or changing cover, compare current policy documents and provider information, and seek licensed financial advice when personal circumstances require it.
Before using an insurance calculator
- Identify whether you are comparing price, excess, cover or replacement value.
- Use current figures from your quote, policy schedule or household records.
- Read exclusions, sub-limits, waiting periods and claim conditions separately.
- Treat calculator results as general planning information rather than a quote or recommendation.
