When taking out contents insurance, you’ll need to provide the cost of the possessions inside your house. To do this, you should add up the value of all your contents. This includes furniture, appliances, electronics, clothing and anything else you would take with you if you moved house.
It’s important you provide the right amount when getting your quote. If you don’t factor in all of your contents, you may end up underinsured.
How do I work out how much contents insurance I need?
Luckily, you can use our contents calculator to ensure you’ve correctly calculated the right value. Simply follow the steps below.
1. Scroll down and fill in the value of your item in each field
2. Ignore items you do not own
3. Your total contents estimate will then be calculated for you
