How to prioritize buying insurance
The principle of insurance is to first cover risks that are unlikely but devastating to your household. So priority is set by weighing both how often a risk occurs and its financial impact. Keep protection-type premiums within about 8–12% of monthly income, and within that budget fill the best-value coverage first.
| Priority | Coverage | Why |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Health (silson) insurance | Broadly reimburses inpatient/outpatient costs — best value |
| 2 | Death coverage (term) | Protects dependents' livelihood — key for breadwinners |
| 3 | Cancer / major illness | Covers high treatment costs and income loss |
| 4 | Pension | Retirement income — prepare after securing risk protection |
If you are a single earner with no dependents, death coverage drops in priority and your own medical costs and retirement become relatively more important. Conversely, a single-income breadwinner with children should weight death coverage more heavily. A pension is best started early — once risk protection is in place — to maximize compounding.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
Which insurance should I get first?
Generally, health (silson) insurance comes first — it broadly reimburses inpatient and outpatient costs and offers the best value. Next, if you are a breadwinner supporting a family, death coverage (term life), then cancer / major-illness coverage for high treatment costs. That order is the usual checklist.
How is this tool's result determined?
Based on your age group, dependents, and the policies you already have, it scores recommended and gap items against a general coverage-priority guideline. It is not a personalized plan that reflects your health, finances, or existing enrollment terms, so treat it as reference only.
What percentage of income should go to premiums?
Protection-type premiums are commonly recommended to stay within about 8–12% of monthly income. Adding savings and pension insurance can raise this, but it helps to separate protection from savings so premiums do not strain your budget.
When is the best time to buy pension insurance?
Because of compounding, the earlier you start a pension the better. That said, the usual order is to secure risk protection — health, death, critical illness — first, then use surplus funds for tax-advantaged pension savings, IRP, and pension insurance.
Can I rely on this result alone to buy?
No, it is for reference. Real enrollment must weigh your health (disclosure duty), overlap with existing policies, premium burden, and coverage scope in the terms. Compare and review with an insurer, agent, or official guidance before enrolling.
