How the Calculator Works

There are no hoops to jump through. Just a few questions about your policy and your health.

We use that information to give you a private estimate of how much we can offer. The calculator looks at the same factors our team uses when reviewing real policies: your age, condition, policy size, and remaining premiums. The more accurate your answers, the more useful the result.

It doesn’t require your full medical history. It doesn’t ask for personal contact details to get started. You don’t even need to call us. Most people complete the process in under two minutes. And if it looks like you qualify, we’re ready to talk next steps, on your terms, not ours.

You’ve already done the hard part by keeping your policy active. The calculator is the easy part.

Try it now. It’s free, it’s fast, and it shows you what your policy could actually be worth, right now.

Frequently Asked Questions

How accurate is the estimate from the calculator?

If you enter real numbers, you’ll get a real estimate. For example, if your policy is worth $300,000, and you’ve listed your premiums and condition accurately, your result will reflect the same approach our specialists use to evaluate policies every day.

Do existing policy loans affect the payout?

Yes. Loans are subtracted from the value.

For instance, if your policy has a $250,000 face value and a $25,000 outstanding loan, the offer is based on the remaining $225,000, not the full amount.

What’s the biggest factor in how much I could receive?

Your life expectancy. A person with a two-year prognosis may receive a significantly higher percentage than someone with a longer outlook. The shorter the term, the higher the value, assuming the policy is in good standing.

Is there a catch after I use the calculator?

No. There’s no follow-up call unless you ask for one. The estimate stands on its own. You can use it to make a decision, or not. Either way, it’s yours.

What if I’m still paying premiums every month?

You don’t have to keep paying if you settle. A viatical settlement gives you a one-time cash payout and ends the need to pay future premiums. It’s one of the main reasons people choose to sell.

Are the funds I receive taxable?

In most cases, no. If you’re certified as terminally ill by a physician, viatical settlement proceeds are typically tax-free under IRS guidelines although some states may vary so it’s best to check before any final decisions are made.
