Human Life Value (HLV) Analysis


What is Human Life Value?

Human Life Value (HLV) is a financial measure that estimates the economic loss a family would face in the event of the earner's death. It considers:

  • Current and future income potential
  • Financial obligations and debts
  • Family's living expenses
  • Future financial goals (education, retirement)
  • Inflation and investment returns

Human Life Value Formula

HLV = PV(Future Income) - PV(Future Expenses) + Additional Factors

Where:

  • PV = Present Value
  • Future Income = Annual Income × (1 + Growth Rate)^year
  • Future Expenses = Annual Expenses × (1 + Inflation Rate)^year

Components Included:

  • Present value of all future income
  • Present value of future living expenses
  • Education fund requirements
  • Other financial goals
  • Outstanding debts
  • Current savings & investments

Calculation

For each future year until retirement:

Year N Income = Current Income × (1 + Growth Rate)^N

PV of Year N Income = Year N Income ÷ (1 + Discount Rate)^N

Expense Calculation

For each future year until retirement:

Year N Expenses = Current Expenses × (1 + Inflation Rate)^N

PV of Year N Expenses = Year N Expenses ÷ (1 + Discount Rate)^N

Considerations

Insurance Gap Analysis

Insurance Gap = Max(0, HLV - Existing Insurance Coverage)
