The rapid advances in Information Technology and the use of access to the Internet has today given a different dimension to and level of efficiency has been given to most financial industries that run web sites. With the development of computer languages like java and asp, mathematical functions can now be performed online. It is there on this principle that Insurance Calculators operate. It is now easy to get do a lot of calculations online and the insurance industry to say the least, is also benefiting its customers whit this visual method. However a lot of people are having problems using it so there is need for some explanation as to how it can be used.

In the housing and insurance industry today there are different types of online calculators using different customised forms.

However, the type of form used in South African Insurance sites basically asks the following questions to arrive at a policy calculation.

The forms online ask three sets of questions. First it asks about the Vehicle details and other specific information that can be provided on the vehicle like – Vehicle Details, Purchase Price, Distance in Kilometres covered by the vehicle so far, Vehicle Type meaning whether it is Passenger (Petrol) or Passenger (Diesel) ,Light Commercial (Petrol) ,Light Commercial (Diesel), Sport Utility (Petrol) ,Sport Utility (Diesel). And a host of other use classifications.

The form also considers Engine Capacity and the estimated Fuel Price (R per litre) Fuel Pricing of the vehicle. Other Factors like whether the vehicle is a 4×4, 4×4, can be loaded or has a Trailer, Single Axle, and Double Axle; come into the estimation of the premium cost. The form also considers asking about the Certificate Type of the vehicle.

Next is the filling of personal details of the potential policyholder. This ranges from Personal Details, Title or salutation, First Name, Last Name, Identity Number, and Automobile Association Membership Number. This is optional and so the client may decide to stay anonymous until a correct quote has been gotten.

Finally the calculator from ask some more questions about the vehicle details but this is optional and can either be filled or left blank.

A proper filled from will give a feedback that gives the client a picture of what to expect as policy premium to the nearest South African Rand.

Also to assist in getting to the closest possible quotes other calculators like Vehicle operating calculator, Distance calculator, Fuel calculator, Buying and Selling a car calculator are online and part of the menus of the sites housing the Insurance calculators.

However there are key factors that the client must take care not to give wrong information on as these will affect the type of policy coverage they will get. So if you are not too comfortable about using the online calculator call the Company in mind and an agent will ask you some questions from which a calculation will be done. The Insurance Broker or Representative will take your information and particulars, feed them into their car insurance calculator and then work on getting insurance package which is perfectly suited to both your needs and budget.

There are other factors which, though they might not be quantified yet will affect the premium. They are:

Your location which is determined against the safety of your domicile location. Clients living in city centres, low income and areas or high risk due to theft pay more premium than those living in areas of high income dwellers with garages and fence to protect their vehicles.

Next is the security the client has for the vehicle. A vehicle parked in a garage or behind a locked gate will definitely have a lower premium than one always parked on an open highway and exposed to thieves in a country of high crime rates like South Africa.

The age and experience of the driver also counts. Younger drivers are usually considered to be inexperienced as a result is a higher risk than older drivers. Therefore their premiums are slightly higher.

Lastly, the type or make of car is another big factor for affecting the calculation of the premium. The more expensive the car higher the monthly premium on the car because, for a lot of reasons ranging from accident repairs cost, any claims made will be very high.
