== Example Problem One: ==


Nidal’s Family takaful has a sum assured of RM 200,000 and his participant’s account has currently accumulated RM 50,000 based on his contribution over several years and the dividend received on these investments. He plans to continue this takaful participation until his assumed mortality. His work provides some coverage for death and disability as a benefit, with a value of RM 70,000. It is not a takaful investment.
Similarly, Rasha has RM 100,000 of a permanent conventional insurance policy that pays out on death or complete disability. An additional short-term family takaful investment has a sum assured of RM 60,000, which will pay out on her death or complete disability. Her participant’s account currently holds only RM 10,000. In 16 years when the takaful expires the participant’s account should be valued at RM 50,000 based on the contribution schedule.


== Solution Using Summary Insurance Coverage: ==

Go directly to the Insurance screen:	
#	Under Client’s Permanent Insurance enter $250,000 for Nidal’s permanent takaful life coverage since the combined amounts of RM 200,000 and RM 50,000 would be paid out on death.
#	For Client’s Term/Group Insurance, enter the $70,000 of coverage through work.
#	In the Spouse’s Permanent Insurance field, enter the $100,000 that would be available on Rasha’s death.
#	Set the Spouse’s Term/Group Insurance to $70,000: the total amount that would be available from the sum assured (RM 60,000) plus the participant account (RM 10,000).
#	In the disability section, set the Client’s Lump Sum on Disability to $320,000, since both his takaful investments and work coverage payout their total amount if he were to become disabled and unable to work.
#	Under Client’s Lump Sum on Disability, enter the total $170,000 available from her permanent insurance and short-term takaful.
#	The Will benefits be subject to income tax drop-down menu should be set to No, based on the taxability of insurance benefits.
#	Click Save at the bottom of the screen
#	Use the drop-down menu to continue to the Pensions and Other Revenues screen.

Hint: The only real difference between entering conventional insurance and Islamic takaful coverage, is just that you will enter the combined value of the participant’s account and sum assured for the coverage amount. Otherwise, the only other thing to keep in mind is the eventual payout of the participant’s account for any personal family takaful where your client’s participation ends before assumed mortality.

=== Term Takaful Payout ===

In the event that Rasha does not die or become disabled in the next four years, her short-term family takaful policy will pay out her participant’s account.
#	Click on the Add button above the current revenue entries
#	Enter an appropriate description in the Description field. 
#	In the drop-down menu beside Owner change the setting to Spouse
#	The $50,000 value of the participant’s account (future value) can be entered in the Amount per Year field
#	Both the From Year and To Year fields should be set to 16 years from now when the policy will expire.
#	The Index Rate to be 0%, since this RM 50,000 is the future value.
#	Set the Percent Taxable to 2.5% since it is most likely the revenue will be invested in other financial assets and thus liable to Zakat.	
Note: This 2.5% of the lump sum revenue will not be paid immediately, since the client might object, but is just used to show that not all of this revenue will be available for investment or lifestyle after the end of the year.			

#	The Amount on Death can be set to 0%, the takaful will then payout through the insurance screen.
#	The Amount on Disability would be 0%, for the same reason.
#	The drop-down menu beside Model As should be set to Fixed Period since the takaful will pay out regardless of when she retires. 
#	Click Save to return back to the summary Pensions screen

One of the most important goals to keep in mind for your clients is the life insurance reduction on disability. The way the Web Advisor treats the life insurance and disability insurance for long-term calculations means that any permanent life insurance that pays once on disability OR death, is actually calculated as paying out twice: once when the person becomes disabled, and another time on death at the assumed age of mortality. To correct this, you must add an event specific goal for the amount of the permanent insurance. So to finish your analysis of the life insurance coverage, we recommend you visit the page [[Planit:Life and Disability Insurance in One Policy]] to add this objective for Nidal Dhakir and Rasha Nadhir.
