What is the cost of contents insurance per month?
You are planning to purchase contents insurance. It is not so easy to find a suitable household contents insurance. In fact, there are many insurers who offer this insurance and often at different premiums as well. It is important to understand the cost of contents insurance so that you can make a good decision.
How is contents insurance premium calculated?
The premium of contents insurance is different for everyone. This is because the premium depends on a number of factors:
- The insured amount (the higher the amount, the higher the premium)
- The coverage chosen (if the coverage is larger, the premium is also higher)
- The deductible (the higher your deductible, the more discount you have on your premium)
- Location (in major cities, insurers charge a surcharge)
How do I calculate the value of my contents?
Do you want to take out a new household insurance policy? Or is something changing on your current household insurance policy? Then you need to calculate the value of your household insurance. You can use a handy tool, namely the household contents value meter. You will get an estimate of the value of your household contents, which you can pass on to your insurer. Using this tool also guarantees you against underinsurance.

Can my contents insurance premium be adjusted mid-term?
Every year, all insurers look at the total claim burden and compare it to the total premium receipts. If the cost of claims is higher than the premium income, the insurer may increase your premium. They make these premium adjustments per the contract expiration date.
Your contents insurance premium may also change if something changes in your current situation, for example:
- you are moving
- you have the insured amount adjusted
Such adjustments may increase or decrease the risk to the insurer. Thus, this may affect your premium.
