Prices for life insurance vary

Factors that determine life insurance rates
There are several factors that an insurance company will look at to determine the cost of your life insurance policy. During the underwriting process, the company will use these factors to determine how risky you are to insure and, in turn, the price of your policy.


  • The policy details: The type of policy you choose, along with the term length and coverage amount, influences the cost of your policy
  • Your health: Life insurance is all about risk, so the healthier you are, the cheaper your policy will be. If possible, buy life insurance when you’re feeling your healthiest.
  • Your age: The cost of a policy increases at a rate of 8-10% each year you put off buying one.
  • Your hobbies: Dangerous hobbies, like skydiving and scuba diving, may raise your rates.
  • Your gender: In general, men pay more than women for comparable policies.

The best approach to life insurance coverage is opting for an amount that will sustain beneficiaries’ lifetime. A good starting place is to find a policy that ensures benefits that are worth ten times your income. A good rule of thumb is the younger you are, the more coverage you should get. The typical amount of coverage for younger individuals is between $250,000 and $1,000,000. A reasonable estimate of coverage makes the difference between no coverage at all and enough to last as it is needed. To receive enough coverage,  consider factors related to your financial needs and expenses. 

Things to consider: 

  • Daily costs (raising children and monthly bills) 
  • Debt (loans, insurance, or credit cards) 
  • The amount of monthly income 
  • Death costs (funeral, memorial service) 
  • Health expenses (medical needs) 
  • Age (younger policyholders pay less) 

Preventing unexpected surprises

Understanding your Life Insurance Policy is crucially important, being aware of what your policy covers and what it does not. Here is a list of what is not covered.


  • Fraud and Dishonesty
  • Illegal Activities
  • Death by Substance Abuse
  • Act of War
  • Lapsed Premium Payment
  • *Suicide – prior to the two-year mark

*Beneficiaries of policyholders that die by suicide, usually within the first two years of taking out a policy, won’t receive a payout.
