Family health expense planner
Add up what your family spends on health in a year, see how it may grow over five years, and find a monthly amount to set aside. The planner also shows what your health cover may be worth in 10 years. It is free, needs no sign-up, is for planning only, and your numbers stay on your device.
How it works
Yearly spending = doctor visits + medicines + tests + insurance premium. Doctor visits = all family members × visits per person × fee per visit. Medicines = monthly amount × 12. Check-ups and tests = (adults + seniors) × cost per adult. The monthly set-aside is the yearly total ÷ 12.
The 5-year view grows this year's spending by the medical cost rise you enter: year y = this year × (1 + rise)^(y − 1). Your cover in 10 years, in today's money = sum insured ÷ (1 + rise)^10, which shows how rising costs shrink fixed cover. Cover per person = sum insured ÷ family members. This is for planning only, not medical or insurance advice.
How to use it
- Enter the number of adults, seniors and children in your family.
- Add doctor visits, fee per visit, monthly medicines and yearly tests per adult.
- Enter your insurance premium, sum insured and expected medical cost rise.
Questions
How much should a family save for medical expenses?
Start with your own yearly total from this planner and divide by 12; that is a sensible monthly set-aside. Also keep a separate emergency fund for costs insurance may not pay. Your doctor and an insurance adviser can help with specific needs.
Why does my health cover lose value?
Medical costs tend to rise each year. If they rise 10% a year, a fixed cover buys less over time. The planner divides your cover by (1 + rise)^10 to show its worth in today's money. Review your cover regularly with an adviser.
Is this medical or insurance advice?
No. It is a planning tool for general information only. Check health decisions with a doctor and insurance decisions with a qualified adviser. Your own bills are the best guide to the numbers you enter.
Is my family's data saved?
No. The planner is free, needs no sign-up and runs in your browser. Your numbers stay on your device unless you choose to copy the result, share it on WhatsApp, save a PDF or send it to us.
