In place todayThe gap
Ability to Earn is measured month by month, once any disability benefits begin. Each bar is a share of its own goal, so the bars can’t be added together.
The gap, in today’s dollars
If income stopped, your savings would cover about 15 months of essential spending. That meets your goal.

Once benefits begin, the household would be up to $6,000 a month short.
Bill
The gap, in today’s dollars
Covered today: your coverage pays for this goal at today's prices. A gap can open later, because the benefit stays the same while the cost of care keeps rising.
Bill
| When | Care would cost | Benefit pays | Left to fund |
|---|---|---|---|
| Today | $225,000 | $500,000 | Covered |
| In 5 years (Bill would be 60) | $273,747 | $500,000 | Covered |
| At age 65 (in 10 years) | $333,055 | $500,000 | Covered |
| At age 80 (in 25 years) | $599,813 | $500,000 | $99,813 |
Each row includes price rises up to that year. Care costs rise 4% a year — faster than prices in general (3%) — so care costs more the later it is needed.

The gap, in today’s dollars
This is how much more the household would need if one of you died, beyond the life insurance and savings already in place.
Bill's $500,000 term policy ends in about 3 years. Today there is no gap; if this happened 5 years from now there would still be no gap.
