What is the LIC Jeevan Anand Calculator?
The LIC Jeevan Anand Calculator is a free online tool designed to help you estimate the annual premium and maturity amount for LIC's Jeevan Anand (Plan 915) policy. Jeevan Anand is one of LIC's most popular endowment plans because of its unique feature — it provides whole life coverage even after the policy matures. The calculator takes your age, sum assured, and policy term as inputs and gives you an instant estimate of the premium you need to pay and the amount you can expect on maturity. While the exact numbers depend on LIC's board-declared bonus rates and final addition, this tool gives you a reliable estimate to plan your financial goals.
Jeevan Anand stands apart from other LIC plans because it continues to provide life insurance cover for the sum assured even after the maturity date. This means if you outlive the policy term, you receive the maturity proceeds and the life cover continues until you attain age 100 or die, whichever is earlier. This combination of savings and lifelong protection makes Jeevan Anand a preferred choice for individuals who want their family to remain financially protected even after the policy term ends.
How to Use the Jeevan Anand Premium Calculator
Using this calculator is straightforward:
- Enter Your Age: Provide your current age (between 18 and 50 years). Younger applicants generally get lower premiums.
- Enter Sum Assured: The amount of life cover you need. The minimum sum assured is ₹1,00,000, and it should be in multiples of ₹10,000.
- Select Policy Term: Choose between 15 and 35 years. A longer term means lower premiums but you will pay for more years.
- Click Calculate: Get your estimated annual premium, maturity amount including bonuses, and the total estimated bonus.
The calculator uses standard premium rates applicable for Jeevan Anand and estimates bonuses at current declaration rates. The actual premium may vary based on your specific health profile, occupation, and other underwriting factors assessed by LIC.
Understanding Jeevan Anand Plan 915 Features
LIC Jeevan Anand (Plan 915) is a non-linked, with-profit endowment assurance plan that offers a unique combination of savings and whole life protection. The key features include: death cover of sum assured plus accrued bonuses throughout the policy term; maturity benefit of sum assured along with vested bonuses and final addition; and whole life coverage after maturity for the basic sum assured until age 100. The plan also offers loan facility against the policy, surrender value option, and tax benefits under Section 80C and Section 10(10D). This makes it an excellent choice for individuals looking for long-term financial planning with life insurance.
The premium calculation for Jeevan Anand depends on several factors. The primary factor is your age at entry — younger policyholders benefit from lower premiums as the risk to LIC is lower over a longer period. The sum assured directly affects the premium — your premium is roughly proportional to the sum assured. The policy term also matters — a longer term spreads the premium over more years, reducing the annual premium amount. Mode of premium payment (yearly, half-yearly, quarterly, monthly) also affects the total premium, with yearly payment being the most economical.
Jeevan Anand Maturity Amount Calculation
The maturity amount of LIC Jeevan Anand consists of three components: the basic sum assured, Simple Reversionary Bonuses declared annually, and the Final (Loyalty) Addition payable at maturity. The Simple Reversionary Bonus is declared by LIC each year based on its valuation surplus. For example, if LIC declares a bonus of ₹45 per ₹1,000 sum assured for the year, a policy with ₹5,00,000 sum assured will earn a bonus of ₹22,500 for that year. These bonuses accumulate over the policy term and are paid along with the sum assured at maturity. The Final Addition is an additional amount that LIC may declare for policies that complete the full term.
For example, if you take a 20-year Jeevan Anand policy with a sum assured of ₹5,00,000 at age 30, assuming a bonus rate of ₹45 per ₹1,000 sum assured and a final addition of ₹20 per ₹1,000, the maturity amount would be approximately: ₹5,00,000 + (₹45 × 500 × 20) + (₹20 × 500) = ₹5,00,000 + ₹4,50,000 + ₹10,000 = ₹9,60,000. Note that bonus rates vary each year and are not guaranteed.
Benefits of Whole Life Coverage After Maturity
The most distinguishing feature of Jeevan Anand is that the life insurance coverage continues even after the policy matures. While you receive the maturity proceeds, the basic sum assured continues to be payable to your nominee in case of death at any time after maturity until you reach age 100. This means your family remains protected even after the savings component of the policy has been paid out. This feature is particularly valuable for individuals who want to ensure that their family has financial protection throughout their lifetime, not just during the policy term. It eliminates the common problem where a policyholder outlives the term and then struggles to get affordable life insurance at an older age.
Tax Benefits Under Jeevan Anand
LIC Jeevan Anand offers significant tax advantages. Under Section 80C of the Income Tax Act, the premiums paid towards the policy are eligible for deduction up to ₹1,50,000 per financial year, provided the premium does not exceed 10% of the sum assured. The maturity proceeds and death benefits are completely tax-free under Section 10(10D) of the Income Tax Act, subject to the same condition. This makes Jeevan Anand a tax-efficient instrument for long-term savings. Additionally, there is no tax on the bonus amounts received at maturity, making the entire maturity proceeds tax-free in the hands of the policyholder.
Should You Choose Jeevan Anand?
LIC Jeevan Anand is ideal for individuals who want a combination of life insurance coverage and savings with guaranteed returns (sum assured) plus potential bonuses. It is suitable for those who want whole life protection without having to buy a new policy after the term ends. The plan works well for conservative investors who are comfortable with the moderate returns typical of traditional life insurance plans (IRR of 4-6%). However, if you are looking for higher returns and are willing to take market risks, you might consider ULIPs, mutual funds, or other market-linked investments. For pure term insurance at lower cost, a term plan like LIC Jeevan Lakshya or Tech Term may be more appropriate.
