What This Tool Does

This free home inventory tool helps you create a detailed, room-by-room record of your valuables — electronics, furniture, jewelry, appliances, clothing, and anything else worth claiming on an insurance policy. Add items with estimated values, serial numbers, and notes, then print the list or save it as a PDF. Everything runs locally in your browser. No account, no server, no data collection.

Who It's For

Homeowners and renters who want to be prepared before disaster strikes. Insurance adjusters consistently report that policyholders without an inventory under-claim by 20–40% after a theft, fire, flood, or storm. If you've recently moved into a new home, renewed your insurance policy, or purchased expensive items, now is the time to document what you own. The process takes 15–30 minutes for a typical household and could save you thousands in a claim.

What to Do With Your Results

Print two copies: one for your home (fridge or filing cabinet) and one stored offsite — a safe deposit box, a trusted family member's house, or a secure cloud folder. Update the inventory annually or after any major purchase. Share a copy with your insurance agent to verify your coverage limits are adequate. Pair this with our fire escape plan guide for complete emergency preparedness.

Do I need serial numbers for every item?

Not every item, but definitely for electronics, appliances, and high-value gear. Serial numbers help police track stolen property and make insurance claims faster. For other items, a description and estimated value is usually sufficient.

Should I include photos?

Yes. Walk through each room and take photos or video of your belongings. Store them alongside your printed inventory. Photos are especially valuable for jewelry, art, collectibles, and anything without a serial number.

How often should I update my inventory?

At least once a year, and immediately after any purchase over $100. Set a calendar reminder for January or whenever you renew your homeowner's or renter's insurance policy.

Why you need a home inventory: After a theft, fire, or natural disaster, insurance companies require an itemized list of what you lost. Without one, you'll likely under-claim by 20–40%. The average home contains $20,000–$30,000+ in insured valuables that most people can't recall from memory under stress.
