How to calculate the cost of travel insurance?

The total cost of travel insurance can be calculated using a formula that takes into account several factors:

The formula for calculating the total insurance cost is:

§§ \text{Total Cost} = \text{Base Cost} \times \text{Trip Duration} \times \text{Age Factor} \times \text{Coverage Factor} §§

where:

  • § \text{Total Cost} § — total cost of the insurance
  • § \text{Base Cost} § — the base cost per day (e.g., $10)
  • § \text{Trip Duration} § — the duration of the trip in days
  • § \text{Age Factor} § — a multiplier based on the age of the insured (e.g., 1.5 for ages over 50)
  • § \text{Coverage Factor} § — a multiplier based on the level of coverage selected (e.g., 2 for premium coverage)

Example:

  • Base Cost: $10 per day
  • Trip Duration: 7 days
  • Insured Age: 30 years (Age Factor = 1)
  • Coverage Level: Standard (Coverage Factor = 1.5)

Calculation:

§§ \text{Total Cost} = 10 \times 7 \times 1 \times 1.5 = 105 \text{ USD} §§
