How Much Coverage I Need?
Most experts recommend buying enough umbrella insurance to cover your total net worth (assets + future income). Typical policies start at $2 million and can go up to $5–10 million, depending on your risk exposure and financial situation.
How to Decide Coverage Amount
1. Assess Your Assets
Home equity, savings, investments, retirement accounts
Vehicles, valuables, businesses Umbrella insurance should at least match the value of what you could lose in a lawsuit.
2. Consider Your Risk Exposure
Do you host gatherings, own rental property, or have a swimming pool?
Do you drive frequently or have teen drivers in the household?
Do you travel internationally or own pets? Each of these increases liability risk.
