How to use this calculator
- Enter the sum assured, the annual premium, the date of issue and the amount received.
- Choose the policy date and the policy type to match your situation.
- Read whether the proceeds are exempt and the taxable gain if they are not in the result.
Death benefit is treated differently from maturity; confirm the treatment for the date of issue.
The result is an estimate for the figures you enter. It is not a filed return, a certificate or professional advice. Rates, thresholds and section numbers change with each Finance Act, and the Income-tax Act, 2025 applies from 1 April 2026 with new section and form numbers.
