Important Points to Remember

HLV reduces as your age increases, since the number of earning years decreases.
HLV should be reviewed periodically and life cover should be adjusted as your income grows.
The calculated HLV indicates the minimum life cover needed to get to the current level of your income after death.
Taking less than HLV as coverage may leave your family with unsustainable funds.
Taking significantly more than HLV as coverage could be considered a moral hazard because of the higher premiums you would have to foot as compared to your income.
