What PKR 20,000/month buys you
Two different numbers, two different jobs: life cover (sum assured) is the protection guaranteed to your family from day one — it is not your return. Estimated value at maturity is what your savings grow to through State Life's declared bonuses — that is the return column.

How your money actually grows
Most State Life savings plans are with-profit: each year the corporation values its fund and declares bonuses for participating policyholders — State Life states it distributes 97.5% of its surplus to them. Bonuses attach to your policy and are paid with your sum assured at maturity or with a claim. In 2025, State Life allocated a record PKR 181 billion in profit bonus. Read the numbers →

The honest comparison
Plan vs committee vs cash — the real trade-offs
💼 State Life plan
- ✓ Discipline built in — the premium keeps you saving
- ✓ Life cover protects the goal if you pass away
- ✓ Bonuses on top, Govt-guaranteed benefits
- ✗ Less liquid — early surrender reduces value
👥 Committee (BC)
- ✓ Familiar and social
- ✗ No growth — you get back exactly what you put in
- ✗ No protection if a member defaults or you pass away
- ✗ Depends entirely on trust in the organiser
🏦 Cash / current account
- ✓ Fully liquid, always available
- ✗ Inflation quietly eats the value
- ✗ No life cover attached
- ✗ Easiest money in the house to spend
Being honest: if you may need this money within a year or two, a plan is the wrong tool — and we will tell you so. Plans reward the savers who stay.

Questions at this budget
Before you decide
What can I get for PKR 20,000 per month?
Per State Life's official calculator (fetched 2026-08-17, age 30), around PKR 20,000 a month funds roughly Rs 4,650,000 of sum assured on the Endowment Plan over 20 years — plus State Life bonuses on top. Your exact figure depends on your age and term; the calculator on this page gives your own number instantly.
Is PKR 20,000 per month enough to start?
Comfortably. At this level you have real choice across State Life's savings, endowment, child-education and pension plans — the question becomes which structure fits your goal, which is exactly what our free consultation settles.
What return can I expect?
State Life savings plans grow through declared bonuses, not a fixed interest rate. At the rates declared in State Life's 2025 actuarial valuation, this page's leading option (Endowment Plan) illustrates to roughly Rs 19,339,350 in total benefits over 20 years. Bonuses are declared annually and are not guaranteed — your personal illustration is the official figure, and we walk you through it before you commit.
Can I change the amount later?
Plans differ — some allow adjustments, riders or paid-up options, others fix the premium for the term. We explain the flexibility of each plan before you commit, so there are no surprises.
What is an investment or savings plan?
It is a life-insurance plan that does two jobs at once: it protects your family, and it builds up a savings amount you receive later — on maturity, at retirement, or at a milestone like a child's education. You pay regular premiums and the plan grows over time.
What does your advice cost me?
Nothing. Our consultation is free and we do not charge you a fee. We are paid a standard commission by the insurer when a plan is issued, which is why we will tell you plainly when a plan is not right for you.
Why State Life?
State Life has served Pakistan since 1972 and is the country's largest life and health insurer — state-owned, AAA-rated, and with policyholder benefits backed by a Government of Pakistan guarantee. That security is why families trust it with long-term savings. We help you pick the right State Life plan for your goal and explain exactly how it works.
