Fund Returns are as per HDFC Life Insurance Fund Performance Feb 2025
Yes, ULIP is a good investment plan for those who are looking at a long-term goal of wealth creation, and at the same time, want protection through life insurance. It gives policyholders the dual benefit of insurance and investment.
ULIPs are determined by several factors, including the premium, fund allocation, policy length, fund performance, and fees. By entering these facts, the ULIP Calculator may provide an educated guess as to the potential future investment returns. Considerations such as fund growth rates of return, inflation, and fees are included in the estimation of the ULIP's performance and benefits.
The ULIP plan calculator arrives at an expected return after assessing various data points such as tenure, premium, age, and rate of return. It must be noted that as ULIPs are subject to market risks. The online ULIP calculator will show the estimated amount and return on the investment.
The most accurate ULIP calculators will incorporate both the investment component and life insurance coverage in their predictions. By entering key details such as your premium amount, age, and sum assured, these calculators help predict your life cover and potential investment returns. Additionally, a life insurance calculator can be used alongside to further assess the life insurance coverage, helping you make well-informed decisions based on your financial goals and security needs.
One can choose to buy ULIP plans both online and offline. Although if you plan to purchase the ULIP plan offline, you will have to either do it through an agent or physical branches. Even if you opt for the offline plan, you can use the ULIP calculator to find out the estimated return on your investment in the future.
The Net Asset Value or NAV gives you the per-unit value of the assets after deducting the liabilities. This is how you can keep track of the performance of your fund.
The NAV of a ULIP plan can be calculated by adding up the total ULIP funds on a date and then deducting expenses like operating and management charges from it. The net value is divided by the total number of units to get the NAV.
The ULIP returns depend on market conditions, the type of fund invested in, and the ULIP charges incurred. The growth potential is higher for long-term investors. In a long period of 5 years, market fluctuations may even out, providing better scope for significant wealth creation.
The mortality charge is dependent on the sum assured more than the fund value, also known as the sum at risk. To cover the sum at risk, insurers take an additional mortality charge, which goes out of the pocket of the insured policyholder.
You can pay premiums both online and offline, just like you purchase a ULIP plan. One can choose to make a lump-sum payment or pay in regular intervals, either monthly, quarterly, half-yearly, or in annual installments. Your ULIP plan could have limited premium payment tenure, while other payment tenures can go on for the complete duration of the policy.
