Smart tips

Save more on insurance

Quick, proven moves that lower your premiums without sacrificing protection.

Review coverage annually

Life changes fast. Re-check your policies each year to make sure coverage still fits your needs.

Bundle for discounts

Combining auto and home insurance with one carrier can unlock savings of 10–25% on both.

Raise your deductible

A higher deductible lowers your monthly premium — ideal if you have an emergency fund to cover it.

Shop around every renewal

Loyalty doesn't always pay. Compare quotes at renewal to keep your rates competitive.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about insurance coverage

How much life insurance do I actually need?+
A common rule of thumb is 10–12 times your annual income, but a more precise approach is the DIME method: add up your Debts, Income replacement needs, Mortgage payoff, and Education costs for dependents, then subtract your savings. Our Life Insurance Calculator does this automatically and shows you a clear breakdown.
What's the difference between liability and full coverage auto insurance?+
Liability coverage pays for damage you cause to others and is required by law in most states. Full coverage adds collision (damage to your car from a crash) and comprehensive (theft, weather, vandalism). If your car is newer or still financed, full coverage is usually recommended.
How is my home insurance coverage amount determined?+
Your dwelling coverage should reflect the full rebuilding (replacement) cost of your home — not its market value. You'll also want personal property coverage (typically 50–70% of dwelling), loss of use, and liability protection. Our Home Insurance Calculator walks you through each component.
Are these calculators really free and private?+
Yes — completely. Shield runs every calculation directly in your browser. There's no signup, no data collection, and no cost. The numbers you enter never leave your device, and we never sell your information to insurers.
