Working of a Car Insurance Calculator

A car insurance calculator (ref: http://www.economywatch.com/insurance/auto/car-insurance-calculator.html ) uses personal information to calculate a rough estimate of what an insurance policy might cost to an individual. A calculator needs the following details to calculate the premium:

Place of residence: An individual living in a metro city is more prone to road accidents. Thus, s/he will be charged a higher premium than those who are living in a small town.

Age and Gender: Insurance companies believe that a person becomes more cautious in his driving as he ages. Thus, people aged above a certain limit may be offered discounts. Similarly, companies offer discounts to women drivers as they are perceived to be more cautious drivers than their male counterparts.

Driving record of an insurance seeker: An insurance company also determines the risk factor of an individual from his past driving history. Insurance companies charges higher premiums from individuals with a previous record of accidents and breaking traffic rules. In extreme cases, the companies can also refuse to accept the application of the insurance seeker.

Make and model of the car: These details help insurance companies determine the current market value of the car to be insured. The lower the market value of a car, the lower will be the premium charged.

A car insurance calculator may also prompt you to input miscellaneous information such as the frequency of the drive to calculate the premium.

Tips from the IRS-Home Energy Credit

The forward advancements in solar power technology have coincided with a major increase in the popularity of solar energy to provide a free, renewable and sustainable source of home electricity. However, many people are still of the opinion that solar panels for home are probably expensive and unaffordable. However, this is far from the reality. If you are looking at solar panels for sale, why not seriously consider building and installing your own home solar panels instead?

When looking at solar panels for sale, they may be either used panels or new panels but either way, there are distinct disadvantages to be aware of.

Used solar panels for sale could be being sold for any number of reasons. They could be damaged panels and quite often, unless you know what you are looking for, you wouldn’t even know what damage is present or what constitutes being a damaged panel. Damaged solar panels for sale will often still produce electricity but will not work efficiently and could even be dangerous to use. You will also not know the history of the panels – who has made them, where they were made or how well they have been put together – in reality, not a recommended option.

There is also the option of course of obtaining yourself new solar panels for sale but there is one major disadvantage to this. Generally speaking, if you were to buy professionally built, new solar panels for home, you could pay anything up to $27,000 including installation, depending on the size of your property and home energy requirements of course. New solar panels for sale will be expensive and this often puts them out of reach for many people who genuinely want solar panels for home.

So, how about making your own solar panels? Assuming you are serious about acquiring solar panels for home energy, why not build your own instead. Why look at solar panels for sale when it is quite possible to easily and affordably make your own home solar panels from your own home or garage.

There is a growing popularity amongst home owners to build and install their very own solar panels for home. It is a very realistic and simple option and it is one that any serious potential solar panel owner should very seriously consider. The parts required to build solar panels are easily obtainable from most good hardware stores and the simplicity actually building solar panels for home should never be underestimated.

Solar panels for sale – why bother when for a little time, effort and commitment, you can build your own panels for a small fraction of the cost of buying second hand or new.

Are you eligible for the Earned Income Tax Credit?

Question: Did we lose “GREEN” tax deductions in 2008?

I was told by my tax preparer that Bush invalidated all the Energy savings credits before leaving office. Therefore, she could not deduct the $5500 i spent for new windows & new Air-conditioning unit. (a fairly involved affair since i live in a 1-bdrm condo, top/3rd floor)
From where i’m sitting it is inconceivable that someone would take away these credits. Is it really true????

Answer: The energy credits ended with the 2007 tax year. Bush didn’t invalidate them, they just were set to expire like many tax credits do. (Congress makes the tax law, not the president) Congress and Obama renewed the credits for 2009 as part of the massive bail out. If the economy wasn’t down the tube, the credits probably wouldn’t have been renewed.

As for the new windows and new A/C, only the new windows would have helped. A/C is not a qualifying energy credit. The purchase price of the windows would have been reduced to $2,000 and then the credit would have been 10% of that, for a maximum credit of $200. This credit would have been a non refundable credit.

Sorry that you missed out on the $200. If it makes you feel any better, I missed out on the $8,000 new home purchase rebate by 1 month.
