Check your belongings and valuables without becoming an insurance expert.
Estimate everyday belongings, compare them with the belongings limit you can see, and get a plain checklist for valuables, documents, and policy pages to review.
This is a review helper. It does not decide coverage or claim payment. Policy forms, endorsements, exclusions, limits, deductibles, valuation, and facts control.

What this calculator checks.
It estimates everyday belongings, adds any valuable items you list, compares the total to the belongings limit, and points out item limits, schedule pages, documents, replacement cost or actual cash value wording, off-premises use, business, farm, and condo/renters questions.
What it does not decide.
It does not decide whether a loss is covered, whether a claim will be paid, whether an item must be scheduled, or whether a separate policy is required.
PureCover answers
Personal property, valuables, item limits, and document questions.
These answers explain the same review logic the calculator applies. The declarations page, policy form, endorsements, exclusions, valuation wording, deductible, and facts still control.
How much personal property coverage do I need?
Start by estimating what it would cost to replace your everyday belongings today, then compare that number with the personal property or Coverage C limit shown on your policy or quote.
Why this matters: everyday belongings and valuable items can be handled by different limits, so one big estimate should not hide a smaller item or category limit.
Why can a big Coverage C limit still need review?
Some categories may have lower limits, special theft limits, per-item limits, location limits, business-use limits, or endorsement rules. A large personal property limit is only the first check.
Why this matters: jewelry, tools, cameras, firearms, storage, and business property often need their own page or wording checked before the main belongings limit tells the full story.
Does renters insurance cover my belongings or my landlord?
Renters insurance can cover your household contents and personal belongings, while liability is a different part of the policy. Your landlord or property manager may be listed for notice or lease purposes, but that does not make their policy cover your belongings.
Why this matters: Idaho DOI explains renters coverage as household contents and personal belongings, not the rented structure.
Do condo owners use this calculator differently?
Yes. Condo personal property is separate from HO-6 building property, unit improvements, HOA loss assessment, and master-policy deductible issues. This calculator checks belongings and valuables, then points condo building issues to review.
Why this matters: Idaho DOI notes condo coverage depends on HOA documents, master policy language, and the condo policy.
Does replacement cost mean I get new-item money right away?
Not always. Some replacement-cost paths pay actual cash value first, then additional recoverable depreciation after repair or replacement and documentation.
Why this matters: replacement cost and actual cash value are different ways a policy may value belongings, and depreciation can affect timing and amount.
Do jewelry, cameras, instruments, or art always need a separate policy?
No. They may already appear in the base policy, a special personal property endorsement, blanket valuables wording, scheduled property, or a personal articles policy. The calculator flags what to verify before assuming a separate path.
Why this matters: the policy form, declarations, endorsement schedule, limits, exclusions, valuation, deductible, and location/use wording control.
What documents should I gather?
Gather the declarations page, base policy form, special limits page, endorsement schedule, replacement cost or ACV wording, exclusions or property-not-covered pages, photos, receipts, appraisals, and serial/model numbers.
Why this matters: Idaho DOI recommends photos/video and detailed item lists with brand, model, serial number, measurements, and support for high-value items.
