Lifestyle Calculator

With finances getting tighter, you might feel you’re already stretched to the limit. So how are you going to find the money to pay for extra protection?

It could be easier than you think. And our lifestyle calculator can help you. Take all those little items we take for granted, like the odd coffee or magazine. Individually they don’t amount to much, but you’d probably be surprised to find how quickly the money adds up.

See for yourself. Simply make a note of them in the calculator below. And it will show you how much they add up to each month. Cutting out just a few of these items could save you enough money to buy the protection that could give you financial security.


Take a look at the list below to calculate how much you spend on little extras each month.

You spend in a month  

We don’t expect you to give up all of life’s little luxuries. However, you can see that just by keeping an eye on your spending you could afford to set aside a little extra to improve your financial security. More importantly, once you've started paying this amount each month, you probably wouldn’t miss that money.

So, contact your adviser and find out how much protection you could buy. To contact an advisor click here.

Before you meet your adviser you might like to download some of our brochures to find out more about the benefits of protection from Bright Grey. The brochures are shown below with an illustration of the different types of protection available and an example of what it would cost.

Everyone's circumstances are individual, so it's important to get professional advice from an adviser.

Below are links to some calculators we have prepared for you to make your application easier.
