Fair market value is the price of a product or a property when the concerned parties are not pressured to buy or sell and are given ample time to conclude a transaction that is agreeable to all involved. It is also the basis for taxation and court evaluation.
The fair market value of an insurance can be arrived at by comparing similar policies with almost the same benefits from different companies. By adding all the prices of the policies and dividing them by the total number of policies, the average yields the fair market value.
