Yes, you can use the online ULIP calculator for computing the returns even if you buy the policy offline. The aim of the online calculator is to make the calculation of the returns easier and more accurate, which can be quite a time-consuming process and prone to errors when done manually.

A ULIP can be a good investment if you are investing in it after considering your risk appetite and your investment goals. However, ULIPs offer market-linked returns and, therefore, carry some risks, which may not be suitable for all types of investors.
 

While it is also possible for low-risk investors to opt for ULIPs, a decent understanding of ULIPs, as well as the selected funds is necessary. It is also important to track the funds periodically and switch between funds if needed to ensure that they can offer you the expected returns.

When you are selecting a ULIP policy, the plans are categorised on the basis of their offerings and the fund allocation. Hence, there are balanced plans, aggressive plans and conservative plans that are designed for investors with the respective investment portfolios and risk appetites.
 

Any type of investor can invest in a ULIP policy; however, it is important to understand that the returns are market-linked, and some knowledge of ULIPs as well as the market is essential.

To calculate the NAV or Net Asset Value of a ULIP, the total ULIP funds on a given date will have to be considered. However, the total ULIP holdings will not include the fund management fees, policy administration charges, etc. Therefore, this amount (minus the charges) will have to be divided by the total number of units in the ULIP to get the NAV per unit.

These are the different ULIP plans offered by Tata AIA Life Insurance:
 

• Tata AIA Life Insurance Fortune Maxima (UIN: 110L113V04) - Non -Participating, Unit Linked, Whole Life Individual Savings Plan
• Tata AIA Life Insurance Fortune Pro (UIN: 110L112V04) - Unit Linked, Individual Life Insurance Savings Plan
• Tata AIA Life Insurance Wealth Maxima (UIN: 110L114V03) - Unit Linked Whole Life Individual Savings Plan
• Tata AIA Life Insurance Wealth Pro (UIN: 110L111V03) - Unit Linked, Individual Life Insurance Savings Plan
• Tata AIA Life Insurance Smart Sampoorna Raksha (110L156V02) - Unit-linked, Non-participating, Individual Life Insurance Plan for Savings and Protection

When you buy a ULIP policy, your insurance provider will offer you flexible choices under the premium payment term, the premium payment frequency and mode. For instance, you can choose to pay regular premiums on a monthly basis for a period of 10 years for a policy term of 10 years.
 

If you purchase the policy online, you will be able to select any of the online payment options to pay your premiums. Likewise, if you have purchased the policy offline, you can make the premium payments at your insurance provider’s office or look for online payment options as well.

Yes, you can choose to add one or a few riders^% from among the following options to your Tata AIA Life Insurance ULIP:
 

• Tata AIA Life Insurance Waiver of Premium Plus (Linked) Rider (UIN: 110A025V02)
• Tata AIA Life Insurance Waiver of Premium (Linked) Rider (UIN:110A026V02)
• Tata AIA Life Insurance Linked Comprehensive Protection Rider (UIN:110A032V02)
• Tata AIA Life Insurance Accidental Death and Dismemberment (Long Scale) (ADDL) Linked Rider (UIN:110A027V02)

Yes, you can change the variables such as the premium payment term, policy term, the type of plan and the expected rate of return on the online ULIP calculator. That way, you will be able to know the different returns on the policy as per your investment. However, be realistic in your calculation and input only the correct information for accurate results. Also, note that the online calculator can only give you a fair and reliable estimate and not the exact figures.

No, the ULIP calculator does not calculate the rider^% premiums because these are optional benefits. You can choose to have them added to your ULIP for an additional charge as per your needs and the emergencies you need coverage against.

Yes, the ULIP investment calculator will also compute the life insurance since the life cover is included under the same policy. But do note that the life insurance sum assured will only be paid out to your selected beneficiaries in the event of your demise during the policy term. The insurance cover will not be part of the maturity benefits that are paid out when you survive the policy term.

Since the returns on a Unit-Linked Insurance Plan are dependent on the fund performance in the market, they are not guaranteed returns. However, you can carefully choose your investment funds as per your risk profile and your investment goals and also switch between funds to get the expected returns on your ULIP plan.

The amount invested in ULIP funds is collected from the policyholder. The net amount in the fund is split into equal units, and a certain number of units will be assigned to every policyholder depending on how many units their investment purchases.
 

The fund value will be the current market value of all your investments and units in different funds, and the performance of these funds will be based on the market performance.
