One of the most common causes of income loss is through a disability. While most disabilities cause only temporary loss of income, any income loss can be devastating if you are not financially prepared. This calculator helps you determine how much disability insurance you may need to cover expenses during such a disability.
Your total monthly living expenses. Remember to include your home or rent payments, food, clothing, gas, phone and other monthly expenses.
Your monthly expenses while you are disabled. This amount is usually a little less than your original monthly expenses. The default value for this field is calculated as 70% of your current monthly expenses. You should keep in mind, however, that many expenses such as your mortgage, rent, utilities and food will most likely remain the same as before you were disabled.
The number of months you expect a disability will prevent you from working. A common mistake is to underestimate the time it takes to get back to work.
Your current monthly disability coverage. Make sure to include any disability coverage supplied by your employer.

Este es el pronóstico para la tasa de inflación media a largo plazo. Una medida común de la inflación en los EE. UU. es el Índice de Precios al Consumidor (IPC). Entre 1925 y 2025, el IPC ha mostrado un promedio a largo plazo del 3.0 % anual. En los últimos 40 años, el IPC más alto registrado fue del 13,5 % en 1980. Durante los 12 meses que terminaron el 30 de noviembre de 2025, el IPC para todos los consumidores urbanos (IPC-U) fue del 2,7%, según informó la Oficina de Estadísticas Laborales de EE. UU. If you are disabled for a short period of time, inflation is usually not a very important factor. However, you may need to consider the effect of inflation if you remain disabled for more than a few years.
