How much umbrella insurance might I need? This umbrella insurance calculator estimates liability protection based on net worth, income, and risk level, then compares it to your current auto and home liability limits — a simplified net worth and liability planning tool, not legal advice.

How to use this calculator

  1. Enter net worth and major asset categories.
  2. Enter annual income and select a risk level.
  3. Enter current combined liability limits from home and auto policies.
  4. Review suggested umbrella coverage and any protection gap.

Formula

Asset exposure uses the higher of net worth or major asset components. Suggested protection = Asset exposure + Income risk adjustment (0.5×, 1×, or 1.5× annual income by risk level). Suggested umbrella = Suggested protection − Current liability coverage.

Example

Someone with $650,000 net worth, $120,000 income, medium risk, and $300,000 current liability limits may need additional umbrella coverage to better align with assets and income exposure.
