− Current savings
− Existing life cover

Which method should I use?

HLV values your future income stream. Best for salaried earners with stable income growth.
Need Based sums your family's actual money needs (liabilities, expenses, goals). Best when income is variable or you want a goal led plan.
A common practice is to compute both and take the higher of the two as your target cover.
