This personal property calculator is always worth coming back to every once in awhile. It's easy to accumulate many new household items over time and just not think about it! Remember, it's simple to make changes to your policy.

Certain types of property are subject to specific dollar amounts. These typically include, but are not limited to: jewelry, watches, and furs, which on most policies are subject to a dollar limit for theft of these items. Limited coverage amounts may also apply to firearms, silverware, boats, trailers and business personal property. You may be able to purchase an endorsement that raises the coverage amount for these items and broadens the protection.

This calculator is a guide to assist you in determining the estimated value of your personal property and is not meant to take the place of a detailed, complete inventory. Policies may be subject to minimum and maximum coverage amounts.
