How to calculate the Sum Insured ?
|
|
The calculation for the Sum Insured depends on two key things, the structure of the house and the contents of the house.
-
Structure of the house The policy insures the structure of your house for its reconstruction or Reinstatement Value (and not for market value). Reinstatement value is defined as the cost incurred to reconstruct the home if it is damaged. On the other hand market value is a combination of cost of land, demand & supply etc. Sum insured is calculated by multiplying the built up area of your house with the construction rate per sq. feet, e.g. if the built up area of your home is 1000 sq. feet and the construction rate is RO 80 per sq. feet, the Sum Insured for your home structure is RO 80,000. This value can be revised appropriately if expensive material like marble flooring, etc. has been used in construction. If your house has a lawn / garden surrounded by boundary wall, the construction rate would also include the cost of construction of this wall.
-
The contents of your home Furniture, durables, clothes, utensils, jewelry, etc. - are to be valued on market value basis i.e. the current market value of similar items after depreciation. Depreciation does not apply for jewelry.
