Home Insurance Coverage Calculator: Rebuild, Not Resale
Dwelling, contents, detached structures and loss of use, built up from the cost to rebuild rather than the price the house would fetch.
Sofia Marchetti
Editor, insurance and household costs
Sofia covers health coverage, Medicare and what a household actually pays to live in one state versus another.
Background
Sofia edits the insurance and cost-of-living desks: Marketplace subsidies and the premium tax credit, HSA rules, Medicare premiums and IRMAA, and the state-by-state comparisons of what a household actually spends.
These are the pages where a wrong number turns into a tax bill somebody was not expecting, so her standard is that a page states the rule and names the source even where it cannot quote a figure it can stand behind.
