Important!

Solve by payment gives you the option to specify the premium and have the illustration calculate the coverage amount.

The premium you specify will be the total policy premium. The illustration deducts the cost of any optional benefits from that amount and determines the amount of insurance that can be purchased with the amount remaining.

At this point, you would review the payment based on her monthly budget of $200.00 and the Coverage amount coming out to $118,787. We’ll now go back to the Coverage section and remove the Solve by payment option so we can use the Quick Compare feature. The feature isn’t available for illustration when the Solve by payment option is used.

9. From the Coverage section, click Solve by payment to remove the checkmark.

10. From the Illustration Summary, click Refresh.

13. From Illustration Summary, click Refresh.

14. You are now under budget so let’s go back to the Coverage section, select Solve by payment and in the Specify payment field, type 200.
