Health Insurance Cover Gap Checker
Compare your current cover with a simple household-and-city benchmark so coverage gaps become visible.
Problem
Insurance cover often gets chosen once and then forgotten even though the household and city risk profile changes.
Promise
Estimate whether your current health-insurance cover looks thin for your household and city context.
Trust note
No login. The estimate runs in the browser and keeps the assumptions visible.
Tool mode
Basic keeps the fast default flow. Advanced unlocks goal seek, sensitivity sweep, and a second comparison scenario.

How to read this tool
This is a planning model, not a final quote. Use it to understand the direction and size of the trade-off before committing.
Adjust the inputs to test optimistic and conservative scenarios instead of relying on one default answer.
Why the result leans this way
Cover should evolve with the household
Marriage, children, and city moves can change the amount of cover that feels adequate even if the existing policy stays unchanged.
Use this as a benchmark, not a purchase instruction
The right policy structure depends on exclusions, room-rent limits, employer cover, and claim conditions that this model does not inspect.

Frequently asked questions
Is this an insurance recommendation?
No. It is a planning benchmark, not regulated advice. Use it to see whether the current cover looks obviously thin before speaking to an insurer or advisor.
How should I use the health insurance cover gap checker result?
Run it with conservative and aggressive assumptions. If the conclusion survives both cases, the decision is usually more robust.
What can change the real outcome?
Taxes, policy rules, employer terms, personal behavior, and financing costs can all move the final result away from the estimate.
