Home Insurance calculators
When you take out Home Insurance, it’s important that the amount you’re insured for accurately reflects the cost to rebuild your property and replace your contents.
If you’re insured for less than the replacement value of your home and contents, you might have to pay the difference out of your own pocket. Use these calculators as a guide to find out how much you should be insured for.

Frequently asked questions
Home insurance covers you financially in the event something happens to the property you own, i.e. an insured event such as a fire.6 It can also cover your personal belongings inside your home.
It takes a lot of time and hard work to purchase a property, and many of us spend a large portion of our lives paying that property off. That’s why it’s so important to consider whether home insurance is right for you and your circumstances.
The cost of your insurance is called a ‘premium’. Your premium will depend on a number of factors, and can change each year when you renew your policy. Your premium for each period of insurance will be shown on your policy schedule.
There are a number of factors that determine how your Allianz Home and Contents Insurance premium is calculated, including:
- Your risk profile. Allianz will work this out using a number of factors, such as:
- Where you live
- The type of property you’re insuring
- The amount and type of cover you need
- Any other people also insured under the policy
- The relevant claims history of the people being insured
- The likelihood of a claim being made on your policy
- Any discounts that may apply
- Any compulsory government charges such as Stamp Duty and GST
- Emergency Services Levies if they apply to the state or territory where your home is located
- Any other charges Allianz tells you about
- The excess you choose9

If you were previously renting, the home building insurance was the responsibility of the landlord. As a property owner, you’re responsible for your own building insurance.
If you’ve just bought an apartment or townhouse, check with your body corporate if the building is covered by strata insurance. If so, you can still get your contents insured with Allianz. If you’ve bought the house as an investment property, you’ll need Landlord Insurance.

With Allianz, you can adjust your Home, Landlord and/or Contents Insurance premium:
- If you’re buying Home Insurance, combine your Building and Contents cover on the one policy and save up to 10%2,5 (compared to buying each cover as a standalone cover). This discount doesn’t apply to Landlord Insurance.
- If you increase your basic excess: Allianz policies come with flexible excess levels, giving you the option to increase your basic excess, within a given range, which could reduce your premium.9
Before beginning renovations, you’ll need to tell Allianz as soon as reasonably possible during the period of insurance if your renovations will cost more than $75,000 and:
- You’re an owner-occupier with a Home Insurance policy
- You’re a landlord with a Landlord Insurance policy
If you don’t, Allianz may refuse or reduce a claim under the policy to the extent it's prejudiced by the delay or the non-disclosure. When Allianz gets this information, it may:
- Propose changes to the terms and conditions of your policy
- Propose to charge you a higher premium
- Cancel your policy (if there’s a change and Allianz can’t reach an agreement with you on the altered terms and conditions or premium; or it's no longer prepared to insure you because there’s been a material change to the risk)
- Decide not to offer to renew your policy
Note: It’s also important that you increase your sum insured to take into account any extensions or renovations to make sure you’re adequately covered in the event of a Home and/or Landlord Insurance claim.
If your investment property is currently unoccupied, and it’s not a new property that will be permanently occupied within 60 days of settlement, Allianz won’t be able to offer you a new Home or Landlord Insurance policy online. They’ll need to ask you a few more questions to see what kind of insurance they can offer you.
If you already hold an Allianz Landlord Insurance policy for the property and the buildings haven’t or won’t be lived in for more than 60 consecutive days, you’ll need to let Allianz know as soon as reasonably possible.
If you rent out a part of your home while you live at the same address, you’ll need to tell Allianz first before it agrees to insure you. Depending on the circumstances, your tenant may need to take out their own contents insurance policy.
If you’re renting all of your home or a granny flat out to tenants, cover isn’t available under an Allianz Home Insurance policy. You may need to consider a Landlord policy.
This cover option insures you in the event of accidental unexpected mishaps that are caused unintentionally, for example if you’re moving furniture around the house and damage your wall (if you have Buildings cover) or if you've spilt a drink which causes damage to your carpet (if you have Contents cover).
Here are some examples of the sort of mishaps you’ll be covered for if you take out optional Accidental Damage cover:
If you have Building cover and:
- You accidentally smash a hole in the wall when you move some furniture
- Your kids draw all over your walls
If you have Contents cover and:
- You spill red wine on the new white carpet or lounge
We’ll extend cover for your contents anywhere in Australia for up to 90 continuous days in one period of insurance.
The Accidental Damage cover option automatically includes Motor Burnout cover. See the relevant PDS for the details of what is covered.
Unless Allianz states otherwise in the PDS, you’ll need to pay an excess as a contribution toward your claim when you make a claim under the policy.
Charging an excess also helps to keep the cost of premiums down by reducing the number of small claims. The amount and type of excess you have to pay will be shown in your policy schedule or in your PDS.
For full details of the standard terms, conditions and exclusions, refer to your policy schedule or see the relevant PDS and any supplementary PDS (where applicable).
This cover option allows you to insure items which you wear or carry with you outside your home, such as a handbag, wallet, sunglasses, jewellery or a musical instrument. You can choose from two types of Portable Contents cover – unlisted or listed – or you can choose both.
Unlisted Portable Contents
This option allows you to select a per item limit and per claim limit, e.g. up to $2,000 per item and $7,500 per claim. This means you don't have to specifically list your portable items. However, this option doesn't cover items such as laptops, tablets, mobile phones and other wearable technology which need to be covered under Listed Portable Contents.
Listed Portable Contents
This option allows you to cover specifically listed portable items for their full replacement value (less any contributable excess). Laptops, tablets, mobile phones and other wearable technology can be listed under your policy and covered as listed portable items.
