Monthly income to take care of your family $Monthly Income: This is the amount of money that you bring in each month to pay for the groceries, hydro, water, gas, car, clothing, vacations and other expenses. If you have a budget, this number may be readily available to you. If not, you might consider using your monthly income less what you pay in income tax. When you are considering your monthly expenses, consider the amount set aside for housing. Is this a mortgage for your house or rent for your apartment? If you live in a house, would your family remain in the house or would they sell and move to rental housing? Answers to these questions will help you to estimate what your survivor’s monthly expenses might be.x

Savings (savings and investment accounts, TFSAs, etc.) $Savings: Be sure to consider all available cash and any investments that can be easily turned into cash. You should include bank accounts, mutual funds, certificates of deposit, stocks, bonds and cash.

Other assets (property, business, vehicles, etc.) $Other assets: If your survivors might sell your house and/or car, then you should include the value of these assets here. If they will need these assets (for example, they plan to live in the house, as opposed to selling it and moving in with other family or to a less expensive residence), then you should not include the asset value here.x

Existing life insurance (including group plans, individual policies) $Existing life insurance: Be sure to include all existing life insurance plans, including individual plans, group plans, bank mortgage insurance, etc. Do not include plans that only pay in case of accidental death, as these may not be payable.x
