Contents Calculator

This form is for use when estimating the total value of your belongings / contents in your property. The quickest way to calculate the value of your contents is to systematically go through every room in the house and make an inventory. Include as much as you can, whether it’s the contents of your freezer or a laptop. Always remember to include over looked items such as soft furnishings, curtains and clothes. Also carry out an inventory of the shed, garage or outbuildings because garden tools like a lawnmower or perhaps a bike can be expensive.

You then need to calculate how much it would cost to replace every single item on the list with a new equivalent. The internet could help if you cannot remember the item value or you might be able to find old receipts. Remember to keep the list up to date as we constantly acquire possessions throughout our lives, especially if you buy a new sofa, TV or other more expensive items. Finally, if you have any antiques, we often recommend that you call in an expert for a valuation.

When you have a total, you can obtain a contents insurance quotation from Assurant for at least that amount, please be aware it is at all times the responsibility of the policyholder to ensure the total figure reflects the true replacement cost of your possessions.
