Contents insurance calculator

A guide to help you calculate and check your home contents cover.

This calculator tool provides you with a summary list of common household items and their values, based on an average and above average three bedroom New Zealand home. Simply enter the value of your household items and the tool will calculate the total value of your home contents, helping you to determine the level of contents cover needed. Remember, it's always best to check your level of contents cover each year as we all upgrade or acquire new things, so it's important to ensure your level of cover is adequate and kept up to date.
