  • How to calculate LIC maturity amount?
     

Calculating the maturity amount for an LIC (Life Insurance Corporation of India) policy involves considering various factors such as the sum assured, policy term, bonus (if applicable), and any additional benefits or riders attached to the policy. Here's a basic formula to calculate the maturity amount for an LIC policy:

  1. Sum Assured: This is the amount guaranteed to be paid out at the maturity of the policy. It's the amount you're assured to receive provided you've paid all premiums as per the policy terms.

  2. Bonus (if applicable): LIC may declare bonuses on participating policies. These bonuses accrue over the policy term and are usually declared annually or at the end of the policy term. Bonus rates vary depending on the type of policy and the performance of the insurance company. To calculate the bonus amount, multiply the bonus rate by the sum assured.

  3. Final Addition Bonus (if applicable): In some policies, LIC may declare a final addition bonus at maturity. This is an additional bonus provided based on the overall performance of the insurance company and may be added to the maturity amount.

  4. Additional Benefits/Riders (if applicable): If you've attached any riders or additional benefits to your policy, such as accidental death benefit or critical illness rider, the maturity amount may be affected accordingly.

The maturity amount may be determined using the following formula once you have all the necessary data:


Total Assured + Accrued Bonus + Final Addition Bonus + Additional Benefits/Riders (if applicable) = Maturity AmountTotal Assured + Accrued Bonus + Final Addition Bonus + Additional Benefits/Riders (if applicable) = Maturity Amount Remember that the actual maturity amount might change depending on your policy's terms and conditions, the insurance company's performance, and other elements. For an accurate calculation of your LIC policy's maturity amount, it's recommended to refer to your policy document or contact your LIC agent or customer support.  You will able to get comprehensive details on your particular coverage.
