๐Ÿ“ˆ Earnings & Income Replacement Over Working Years

What is Income Replacement? Based on the economic value concept developed by Dr. Solomon Huebner, income replacement represents the present value of your future earning potential โ€” what your family would lose economically if you died prematurely.

Income Replacement Method: IRV = ฮฃ [(Income_t ร— (1 - tax) ร— (1 - self%)) ร— (1 + benefits%) / (1 + discount)^t]
Capitalized Earnings Method: IRV = Annual Economic Contribution / Discount Rate

Key Principle: Your greatest asset isn't your home or your 401(k) โ€” it's your ability to earn income. Protecting that asset with proper life insurance is the foundation of the Protection domain.
