Hospital and treatment costs in metro cities are typically 1.5-2x higher than in smaller towns for the same procedure, so a cover amount that's comfortable in a non-metro city can fall well short in a metro one.

Healthcare utilization and treatment costs rise significantly after 60 — more frequent hospitalizations, longer recovery, and higher-cost conditions. Many insurers also price senior-citizen cover separately for this reason.

A family floater is usually cheaper for a young, healthy family since the total cover is shared and rarely all claimed at once. Once a family includes a senior citizen or someone with a pre-existing condition, a separate individual policy for that member is often better priced.

A flat ₹5L cover isn't enough for everyone

Many people buy a round-number health cover — often ₹5L — without checking whether it matches their actual family size, ages, and city. A family of four in a metro city with two children needs meaningfully more cover than a single adult in a smaller town, and a household with a senior citizen needs more still. This calculator scales the estimate to your actual household.
