Policyholder Questions Answered by
the Institute of Life Insurance, 277
Park Ave.. N. Y„ N. Y„ 10017
Q. The last few years have
been very prosperous ones for
me and my family. I am an
electronics engineer — in my mid-
thirties — and have been working
with a major engineering com-
pany here on Long Island.
Frankly, things have never been
so good. And it has all hap-
pened so quickly that it has
taken me a bit of time to adjust.
One adjustment is the amount
of life insurance that i need. 1
have four children, a ranch home
and make over $20,000 a year —
and expect to make more. Can
you tell me how much life insur-
ance I should own so that my
family will be properly protected
in case of something unforeseen
happening to me?
A. The quickest answer is to
tell you use the formula of a
minimum of four to five times
your annual salary.
Rut this may also give you a
figure that is not quite in line
with your needs, because no two
families are in exactly the same
situation. Five times annual in-
come may be too much for an
older couple with a stock of gilt-
edge bonds. Or it may be toe
INSURING
fAMItY INCOME (
1 h
little for a young husband with
four children, a good job and not
much else in the way of resources
he can rely on.
A more accurate way to figure
your life insurance needs is to
start by thinking of your life in-
surance not as a total amount,
hut in terms of the income it
can provide should something
happen to you.
What you are really insuring
is your paycheck.
Your family may need som"
of your life insurance in a lump
sum — particularly if you have
few other assets which can readily
lie turned into cash. But most of
all they will need some regular
replacement for the income they
depend on. So, set your guide-
posts. Decide how much cash or
income will he required by your
family's needs. Have an approxi-
mate idea of how far your Social
Security and other assets will go,
and how much remains to be
covered by your life insurance.
Don't be reluctant to call on
the special training and ex-
perience of your life insurance
agent. It's all part of his service.

What about the young per-
son aged 22, just starting his
career of 43 years of work or
self-employment before reach-
ing age 65? What will he in-
vest in social security and
whet will it bring him in re-
turn?
Using the current and pro-
jected tax rates, the employee
will pay in $16,490 toward his
retirement benefit at age 65

the months went by). With
the average male life expect-
ancy of 13 years at age 65, and
with a wife also 65 (81% of
men reaching 65 are married),
the retirement benefits dui/
him and his wife would total
$42,860 — $3,160 more than
the value of his social security
contribution.
Actuaries state that under
the schedule of contributions
now in the law, the young
worker will get social security
benefits worth from 15-20%',
more than their own contri-'
butions plus an interest al-
lowance. Jt appears rather
certain they will get even
more, for as wage levels con-
tinue to rise income to the
social security system in-
creases at a rate faster than
corresponding benefit liabili-
ties. Future benefits can there-
fore be raised without fur-
ther increasing the taxes.
