Following the rule of thumb of 10 X Annual Income in the event of Death, you only need 850k. You can round this up to 1m.

However this is your own family income protection not including any liabilities like a mortgage that you may have.

If that is in the works, you can use one of the policies to cover for the mortgage without needing to get a mortgage specific insurance policy.

If you really believe you will not take on any liabilities, then yeah probably tad bit overkill. But that's up to you.
