Contents insurance calculator (2024)

If you've ever been burgled or flood damaged, you'll know how important home insurance is. We all have valuables and expensive items at home we want to protect, from gadgets and jewellery to furniture and food.

It's important to understand what level of contents insurance is best. If you don't have enough, your policy won't pay to replace all your stuff after major flood, fire or burglary. But if you overdo it, you might overpay. Using our free home content value calculator,you can estimate the cover you're likely to need, based on what you own.

Easily figure out the value of your home contents

It can be a bit tricky to calculate an accurate value for everything in your home, especially considering all the domestic appliances, furniture, furnishings, personal belongings, and precious valuables.Thankfully our convenient contents insurance calculator helps you estimate how much cover you need.

The information provided by the Contents Insurance Calculator is for guidance only. The estimated value of the contents within your home is based solely on the information you have entered into the Contents Insurance Calculator.

How much does contents insurance cost?

We’ll figure out the price to insure your home contents by using a combination of factors including:

  • Total value of all your possessions. It costs more to cover things that are more expensive to replace.
  • Where you live. It's normal for the price to go up in areas with reports of higher crime rates
  • The excess you’re willing to pay. You'll usually get a cheaper price if you pay more towards a claim.
  • The type of property you live in. Fires and floods spread more easily in terraced houses and flats.
  • Your claims history. The insurer might charge more if you've made lots of claims before
  • The type of security you’ve got at home. A security system that meets your insurer's requirements might get you a lower rate. You should check with them first, though.
  • Any add-ons you’ve chosen. For example, insuring products you take out of your home will push the price up.
