Australia home insurance estimator
Free Australia home insurance calculator. Estimate your annual and monthly premium for home and contents insurance from rebuild value, location, excess and cover — private.
How to use
- Enter rebuild and contents value. Add the cost to rebuild your home (not its market price) and the value of your contents. Higher values raise the estimate.
- Choose your cover type. Pick home and contents combined, or contents-only if you rent. The tool prices each so you can compare.
- Set location and excess. Select your location risk — including flood and bushfire exposure — and your excess. A higher excess lowers your premium.
- Review your estimate. See your estimated annual and monthly premium in $, the typical range, and each factor's contribution.

Frequently asked questions
Is this a real home insurance quote?
No. It is an educational estimate based on published Australian averages and standard rating factors. Real prices depend on your postcode, home and insurer, so get quotes for exact figures.
What is home and contents insurance?
It combines cover for the home (the structure, priced on rebuild value) with cover for your contents (possessions). The tool can price them together or contents-only if you rent.
Why does location matter so much in Australia?
Flood and bushfire risk vary hugely by area and can push premiums up sharply in exposed locations. The estimate factors location risk in, but a local quote reflects your exact address.
Should I use rebuild value or market price?
Rebuild value — the cost to rebuild your home if it were destroyed. Insurers price on this, not the market price, and the two can differ significantly.
How does the excess affect my premium?
A higher excess means you pay more towards each claim, so the insurer charges a lower premium. The tool lets you compare excess levels.
Is my information private?
