Contents Calculator
Independently provided by Sum Insured
Important

This is an independent tool provided by the company ‘Sum Insured Pty Ltd’ and the estimate produced is not shared with AA Insurance. The calculator does not constitute financial advice and you must make your own decision on the sum insured for your contents insurance that is appropriate for your own personal circumstances.


Information for renters

If you are flatting, you only need to include the value of your own personal items, not property owned by your flatmates.

You can still use the calculator by adjusting your responses to only select the rooms your belongings are in (for example, your bedroom) and the items you personally own.

Information for landlords

If you want to calculate your sum insured for Landlord contents, please refer to the policy document as there is limited cover in this instance.

Make sure your home is safe and secure

If your home has been damaged, make sure everyone involved is safe and, if you need to, call emergency services. For example, if there has been a theft, burglary or vandalism, or an attempt at these, call the police immediately. Once it's safe to do so, you should make sure your home is secure.
