Die Faustregel

Deckung = 5-10× Jahresbrutto. Bei 50.000 € brutto: 250.000-500.000 €. Praeziser: Schulden (Immobilie) + Einkommensersatz (Jahre × Einkommen) + Kinderausbildung. In Deutschland: Risikolebensversicherung (RLV) ist guenstig: 200.000 € Deckung fuer 35-Jaehrigen: 8-15 €/Monat.

RLV vs. Kapitallebensversicherung

RLV: reine Absicherung, guenstig. Kapital-LV: Absicherung + Sparanteil — aber der Sparanteil rendiert mit 1-2%, deutlich schlechter als ein ETF-Sparplan. RLV + separater ETF-Sparplan ist IMMER besser als Kapital-LV.
