Cordell Calcu­lator


Use the Cordell Calculator to set your Sum Insured

The Cordell Calculator is an independent online tool that helps you calculate how much it might cost to rebuild your home. The calculation is based on typical rebuild costs for homes with similar materials and features.

You can use the cost it gives you to assist in setting the Sum Insured on your house insurance.

If your home is insured for its replacement value (Maxi policy or ANZ Asset Protector), you could also be eligible for our SumExtra benefit at no extra cost. All you need to do is use the Cordell calculator to help you determine your rebuild costs, by simply entering your address. Make sure you check the information is complete and accurately describes your home, and update your Sum Insured to be at least equal with your rebuild estimate. Make sure you update this figure at least once every three years. Make sure you keep a copy of the calculation in a safe place. You’ll need it if you need to make a claim.

Information you’ll need

Your home’s unique features could affect the cost of repairing or rebuilding. When you use the Cordell Calculator to estimate your rebuild cost, you’ll need to review and possibly update information like:

  • How many storeys your home has
  • If it’s built on flat or sloping land
  • What it’s made of—including flooring, walls and roof materials
  • Total floor area

It’s important to describe your home accurately. It’s a good idea to physically measure parts of your home if you’re not sure.

Don’t forget the extras

Under your insurance policy, you’ll be covered for things outside of your home, but within your residential boundary. Extra features such as these can have quite an impact on the cost of rebuilding your home:

  • Any decks (including their area and what they’re made of)
  • Garages or carports
  • Paving and driveways
  • Fencing or retaining walls
  • Water tanks
  • Landscaping
  • Pools
  • Tennis courts
