1

Coverage Gap Calculation

Calculate the gap between required and existing coverage.

Coverage Gap = Required Coverage - Existing Coverage

Example:

Required ₹1Cr, Existing ₹50L

1,00,00,000 - 50,00,000
= ₹50,00,000

Variables:

Required Coverage - Total coverage needed
Existing Coverage - Current insurance coverage
2

Coverage Gap Percentage

Calculate coverage gap as percentage of required coverage.

Gap % = (Coverage Gap ÷ Required Coverage) × 100

Example:

Gap ₹50L, Required ₹1Cr

(50,00,000 ÷ 1,00,00,000) × 100
= 50%

Variables:

Coverage Gap - Amount of coverage gap
Required Coverage - Total coverage needed

These formulas provide the mathematical foundation for the calculations. Actual results may vary based on rounding, compounding frequency, and specific lender policies.
