The longer your life expectancy and the fewer risky behaviors you take part in, the less you are likely to pay for life insurance. The type of policy you choose also affects your cost. Term policies are usually cheaper since they only cover a designated period of time and offer fewer features than other policy types. However, cost isn’t the only factor to consider when buying life insurance. You might find that the added cost of a permanent policy is worth the extra coverage."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"What is the best life insurance company?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"The best life insurance company depends on your financial needs, personal situation and preferences. Aside from identifying companies that offer the policy type you need, you may also want to research customer satisfaction and financial strength scores to make sure you’re choosing one of the best life insurance companies available. If you find that another life insurance company fits your needs better than your current provider, you may be able to switch your coverage to another insurer. Just be sure to review this with your licensed agent, as switching life insurance can be more complex than it is with other types of coverage."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"What is a contestability period?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"The contestability period in life insurance, usually lasting for the first two years, is a critical phase where insurers have the right to review the application for any discrepancies or intentional misrepresentations, such as hiding a health condition, denying a history of smoking or having hereditary diseases. If such inaccuracies are discovered, it could lead to the denial of a claim. This period is established to deter fraudulent activities and ensure the authenticity of the information provided by the policyholder. It's essential to be transparent on the application to avoid complications for beneficiaries."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Is life insurance taxable?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Generally, life insurance payouts to beneficiaries are not subject to income tax. The IRS typically does not consider these proceeds as gross income. However, there are specific situations where life insurance can become taxable: Estate inclusion: If the life insurance policy is part of the deceased's estate and the total estate value exceeds the federal estate tax exemption limit (currently $13.61 million as of 2024), estate taxes may apply to the proceeds. Interest on installments: If the death benefit is paid out in installments, the interest earned on these payments may be taxable. Policy loans and withdrawals: For whole life policies, if you borrow against or withdraw from the cash value component, amounts exceeding your total premium payments could be subject to income tax. Policy surrender: If you surrender your life insurance policy for its cash value, any amount received over your total premium payments is taxable as income. Employer-paid group life insurance: Death benefits from employer-paid group life insurance policies over $50,000 may be taxable. Each state may have different tax laws regarding life insurance, so it's advisable to consult with a tax advisor to understand your specific situation fully."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"What are life insurance beneficiaries?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Life insurance beneficiaries are the persons or organizations who receive the death benefit payout after you are gone. In many cases, they may be your children or partner. But you could also name a favorite charity as your beneficiary or leave the death benefit to your business, to keep it going in your absence. Primary beneficiaries are the first ones allocated for the payout after your death. If they have also passed away or are not able to accept the payout for any reason, you may name a contingent beneficiary that could receive the death benefit instead. In most cases, you will have the opportunity to change your beneficiary, if you choose, during the life of your policy."}}]}</script><script

You agree to pay regular premiums, and in return, the insurance company promises to pay a death benefit to your chosen <a class="Link" href="https://www.bankrate.com/insurance/life-insurance/life-insurance-beneficiary/">beneficiaries</a> if you pass away while the policy is active. The death benefit, or face amount, is the money your beneficiaries receive. Depending on the type of policy you choose, life insurance can either be temporary, ending after a set term, or permanent, designed to last your lifetime. However, “lifetime” in the context of life insurance policies typically means a maximum coverage age ranging from 95 to 121 years.</p> <h3>Who needs life insurance?</h3> <p>Life insurance can be a useful purchase for many people. If anyone depends on your income, if you want to help ensure your loved ones can pay your end-of-life expenses or if you want to leave a financial gift to a person or organization, life insurance could be a great financial tool.</p> <p>Life insurance can be especially useful for families with children, for example. You might consider a term policy that lasts until after they have graduated from college so that their education costs can be paid for even if you were to pass away. Or you might need a policy to pay off outstanding debt, such as a mortgage, so your spouse or partner isn't left struggling to cover the payments alone following your death.</p> <p>Even single people and seniors can benefit from life insurance to allow them to make a substantial gift to a beloved charity or to be sure that their loved ones won't incur debt in paying for funeral costs.

Life insurance rates are based on factors such as your current medical condition, medical history and lifestyle choices, so you may not see significant differences in premiums between companies until you’re underwritten. Working with a licensed agent or broker can help you pinpoint your financial goals and determine which insurer and type of life insurance is best suited for you.</p> <ol> <li><strong>Assess your needs: </strong>Your life insurance needs depend on your personal circumstances. Decide whether you need term or permanent life insurance. <a class="Link" href="https://www.bankrate.com/insurance/life-insurance/best-term-life-insurance/">Term life insurance</a> is usually ideal if you only want coverage for a specific period, such as until your children graduate from college. On the other hand, permanent life insurance provides lifelong coverage (typically up to age 95 to 121) and includes a cash value component. Determine the amount of coverage you need by considering factors like your financial obligations, income replacement and future expenses.</li> <li><strong>Research multiple life insurance providers:</strong> After determining your specific financial and coverage needs, explore life insurance companies that offer the policies you want. Compare each provider based on customer satisfaction and financial strength ratings from third-party agencies like <a class="Link" href="https://www.bankrate.com/insurance/jd-power/">J.D. Power</a> and <a class="Link" href="https://www.bankrate.com/insurance/am-best/">AM Best</a>. This can help provide insight into how companies typically interact with their clients and if they are viewed as stable enough to effectively pay out life insurance claims.</li> <li><strong>Compare life insurance options: </strong>When you have gathered quotes from multiple insurers, it's beneficial to compare them carefully to find the best policy for your needs. Look at the type of policy, coverage amount and <a class="Link" href="https://www.bankrate.com/insurance/life-insurance/death-benefits/">death benefit</a> each insurer offers. Shopping around can help save you money since insurers evaluate risk factors such as pre-existing conditions differently, leading to varied premiums. Consider each policy's features and costs to ensure you get the best deal. Additionally, working with a broker can simplify the process, as they can shop around on your behalf and provide expert guidance tailored to your specific needs.</li> <li><strong>Apply for a policy:</strong> After selecting an insurer and deciding on the type of insurance that suits your needs, apply either through a licensed agent or online. The application process may require a medical examination, depending on the policy specifics. Keep in mind that after you purchase your policy, you’ll have a "free look" period, typically ranging from 10 to 30 days, allowing you to review the policy in detail and ensure it aligns with your expectations and requirements.</li> </ol> <p>If you’re unsure <a class="Link" href="https://www.bankrate.com/insurance/life-insurance/how-to-buy-life-insurance/">how to apply for life insurance</a> or what exact steps you need to follow, it’s best to ask your agent or life insurance company for clarification since the process can vary between <a class="Link" href="https://www.bankrate.com/insurance/life-insurance/largest-life-insurance-companies/">companies</a> and policy types.</p></div> </div> <div id="types-of-life-insurance-policies" class="SectionWithTocItem " > <div class="wysiwyg display-inline"> <h2>Types of life insurance policies</h2> <p>While there are multiple <a class="Link" href="https://www.bankrate.com/insurance/life-insurance/types-of-life-insurance/">types of life insurance</a> policies, they all fall under two broad categories: <a class="Link" href="https://www.bankrate.com/insurance/life-insurance/term-vs-permanent/">term life and permanent life</a>. The kind of policy that you choose will be based on your financial situation and your goals. Because not all insurers offer each policy type, it’s helpful to understand what each policy has to offer before obtaining a quote.</p> <h3>Term life insurance policies</h3> <p><a class="Link" href="https://www.bankrate.com/insurance/life-insurance/term-life-insurance/">Term life insurance</a> provides temporary coverage, typically making it the <a class="Link" href="https://www.bankrate.com/insurance/life-insurance/cheap-life-insurance/">cheapest option for life insurance</a>. It offers a death benefit without any cash value buildup. Coverage lasts for the term specified in the policy, and once the term ends, the coverage expires unless the policy includes an option to renew or convert to permanent life insurance. Term life insurance is popular with younger families with small children who rely on a primary financial contributor. It’s also a good choice if you need coverage for a shorter period, such as while paying off a mortgage.</p> <h3>Permanent life insurance policies</h3> <p>Unlike term life insurance policies that are active for a specific period, <a class="Link" href="https://www.bankrate.com/insurance/life-insurance/permanent-life-insurance/">permanent life insurance</a> policies are designed to remain in force for the policyholder’s lifetime, provided premiums are paid. However, these policies have a maximum coverage age ranging from 95 to 121 years. Permanent life insurance policies also accumulate <a class="Link" href="https://www.bankrate.com/insurance/life-insurance/cash-value-life-insurance/">cash value</a>, which can be utilized in various ways, such as borrowing against it, withdrawing a portion for immediate needs or using it to pay policy premiums. It’s important to note that borrowing and withdrawing from your cash value can impact the rate at which you accumulate value and your beneficiary’s death benefit. There are several different types of permanent policies, but they are generally much more expensive than term life policies.</p> <h4>Whole life insurance policies</h4> <p>A <a class="Link" href="https://www.bankrate.com/insurance/life-insurance/whole-life-insurance/">whole life insurance</a> policy is the most basic type of permanent life insurance. <a class="Link" href="https://www.bankrate.com/insurance/life-insurance/best-whole-life-insurance/">Whole life insurance policies</a> remain in force until the death of the insured. When you pay premiums, a portion of it is put into a cash value account, which will grow at a guaranteed rate on a tax-deferred basis. You can access this cash value via a policy loan. Loans do accrue interest that will need to be paid back. You are not required to repay them during your lifetime, but not doing so means the unpaid amount plus interest is deducted from the death benefit before your beneficiaries receive it.</p> <h4>Universal life insurance policies</h4> <p><a class="Link" href="https://www.bankrate.com/insurance/life-insurance/universal-life-insurance/">Universal life insurance</a> is a form of permanent life insurance with cash value and flexible premiums. The death benefit may also be flexible, which allows you to adjust your coverage as your needs change. Universal life policies accumulate interest on the cash value of the policy, and the rate of that interest will fluctuate in tandem with current interest rates. In addition to policy loans, many <a class="Link" href="https://www.bankrate.com/insurance/life-insurance/best-universal-life-insurance/">universal policies</a> also provide policy owners the option to withdraw from the cash value account. This will reduce the death benefit, but, unlike a policy loan, it doesn’t accumulate interest you need to pay back.</p> <h4>Variable life insurance policies</h4> <p><a class="Link" href="https://www.bankrate.com/insurance/life-insurance/variable-life-insurance/">Variable life insurance</a> is a type of policy where the cash value is kept in a separate portfolio that gets invested in stocks, bonds, real estate and commodities. Because of this, your cash value amount can increase or decrease daily based on the market’s performance. It also provides no guarantees of either interest rate or minimum cash value. Variable life insurance was the first policy designed to shift the investment risk to policy owners. To obtain a variable policy, you will have to work with a <a class="Link" href="https://www.bankrate.com/investing/financial-advisors/how-to-choose-a-financial-advisor/">financial advisor</a> who is securities licensed.</p> <h4>Final expense life insurance policies</h4> <p><a class="Link" href="https://www.bankrate.com/insurance/life-insurance/final-expense/">Final expense life insurance</a> is a specific type of permanent life insurance policy designed to pay for end-of-life expenses like funeral and burial costs. Many of these policies do not require <a class="Link" href="https://www.bankrate.com/insurance/life-insurance/buy-life-insurance-without-medical-exam/">medical underwriting</a>, but coverage limits are relatively low and the premiums may be comparatively higher than other types of coverage.</p></div> <div class="expertise-card-group expertise-container display-flex flex-wrap

class="SectionWithTocItem " > <div class="wysiwyg display-inline"> <h2>What type of life insurance policy is right for you?</h2> <p>Before shopping for the best life insurance policy, consider <a class="Link" href="https://www.bankrate.com/insurance/life-insurance/what-does-life-insurance-cover/">what type of financial need you want the policy to cover</a>. Some needs may be temporary, such as paying outstanding debts like student loans or a mortgage. But some needs could be longer-term, like business succession planning, growing wealth or paying for funeral costs.</p> <p>If you have both temporary and permanent needs for life insurance, you might consider purchasing a term policy that has the option to convert to a permanent policy later. Alternatively, you may prefer to purchase both a term policy and a permanent policy with different coverage amounts.</p> <p>For example, let’s say you need $300,000 in coverage to help your spouse pay off your mortgage if you pass away. However, you still want coverage for your funeral costs even after the mortgage is paid. Getting a quote for a $300,000 term policy to cover your mortgage commitment and a smaller amount in permanent life insurance for your end-of-life expenses may be better than <a class="Link" href="https://www.bankrate.com/insurance/life-insurance/can-you-have-more-than-one-life-insurance-policy/">choosing just one policy</a>. If you have money saved or prepaid for your funeral, term life insurance may be all you need. Discuss your situation with a financial planner or licensed life insurance agent to learn what approach may be best for you.</p></div> </div> <div id="what-lifestyle-factors-affect-my-life-insurance-quotes" class="SectionWithTocItem " > <div class="wysiwyg display-inline"> <h2>What lifestyle factors affect my life insurance quotes?</h2> <p>Life insurance quotes consider multiple aspects of your life to determine your rate. Age is one of the biggest factors, with life insurance generally being more expensive for <a class="Link" href="https://www.bankrate.com/insurance/life-insurance/life-insurance-for-seniors/">seniors</a> due to the higher likelihood of an older insured passing away earlier in the policy period. Here are some other lifestyle factors that can affect your life insurance quotes and rates:</p> <h3>Tobacco use</h3> <p>If you smoke or use chewing tobacco, your life insurance may cost more than it would for a non-smoker. Smoking <a class="Link" href="https://archive.cdc.gov/www_cdc_gov/tobacco/data_statistics/fact_sheets/health_effects/tobacco_related_mortality/index.htm#:~:text=Cigarette%20smoking%20causes%20premature%20death,years%20shorter%20than%20for%20nonsmokers.&text=Quitting%20smoking%20before%20the%20age,related%20disease%20by%20about%2090%25." target="_blank" rel="noopener">increases the risk of mortality</a>, leading insurance companies to charge higher premiums for coverage.</p> <h3>Health conditions</h3> <p>Major health conditions can result in higher policy costs. Pre-existing conditions such as <a class="Link" href="https://www.bankrate.com/insurance/life-insurance/high-blood-pressure/">high blood pressure</a>, cancer, heart disease, <a class="Link" href="https://www.bankrate.com/insurance/life-insurance/diabetics/">diabetes</a>, lung disease and liver cirrhosis may lead to more expensive premiums. If you are a particularly high-risk applicant, you might consider no-medical-exam coverage, though these policies are generally more expensive.</p> <h3>Prescriptions</h3> <p>A major health condition might not affect eligibility or premiums as significantly if it is well managed with medications. When applying for a policy, have a complete list of your medications, including dosages, frequency of use and duration. The insurance company will likely need this information.</p> <h3>Family medical history</h3> <p>Insurers often want to know about your family's medical history. A family history of heart disease, high cholesterol or other hereditary health conditions could increase your premiums, as it may be more likely that you will develop these conditions.</p> <h3>Hobbies</h3> <p>Engaging in <a class="Link" href="https://www.bankrate.com/insurance/life-insurance/high-risk-applicants/">high-risk</a> hobbies such as skydiving, scuba diving or rock climbing can increase your life insurance rates. These activities inherently increase the likelihood of you experiencing harm or injuries, making the insurer more likely to charge more for coverage.</p> <h3>Occupations</h3> <p>Certain occupations are considered riskier than others. Jobs such as construction workers, pilots or race car drivers involve higher risks, which can lead to higher life insurance premiums.</p> <h3>Alcohol and drug use</h3> <p>Excessive alcohol consumption or drug use can significantly affect your life insurance rates. Insurers also view these behaviors as high-risk, which can result in higher premiums or even denial of coverage.</p> <h3>Budget limitations</h3> <p>Your budget may determine how much life insurance coverage you can purchase. It's important to consider how much coverage you can comfortably afford to prevent your policy from lapsing. Discussing your payment options with a licensed agent during the quote process can help you decide what works best for your situation.</p> <h3>Overall health and lifestyle</h3> <p>Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, including regular exercise and a balanced diet, can positively impact your life insurance rates. Insurers favor applicants who demonstrate a commitment to good health, which can lead to more favorable premiums.</p></div> </div> <div id="how-much-life-insurance-do-i-need" class="SectionWithTocItem " > <div class="wysiwyg display-inline"> <h2>How much life insurance do I need?</h2> <p><a class="Link" href="https://www.bankrate.com/insurance/life-insurance/how-much-life-insurance-do-i-need/">How much life insurance you need</a> will vary based on several circumstances, such as:</p> <ul> <li>Age</li> <li>Age of spouse and/or children</li> <li>Likely future financial needs of spouse and/or children</li> <li>Current amount of debt, including mortgage and car loans</li> <li>Burial and funeral expenses</li> </ul> <p>One way to decide how much coverage to buy is to use a <a class="Link" href="https://www.bankrate.com/insurance/life-insurance/life-insurance-calculator/">life insurance calculator</a>. If you're still unsure how much coverage to buy, work closely with your licensed life insurance agent and financial advisor for guidance.</p> <h3>What age should I buy life insurance?</h3> <p>Deciding on the right age to invest in life insurance is a question with no one-size-fits-all answer. Generally, securing a policy at a younger age could lead to more favorable premium rates, as insurers often view younger individuals as lower risk due to the strong correlation between age and mortality risk. Consequently, <a class="Link" href="https://www.bankrate.com/insurance/life-insurance/rates-by-age/">premiums tend to rise with age</a>.</p> <p>Yet, the necessity for life insurance can significantly differ from one life stage to another. What might be a priority for a 25-year-old newlywed could vastly differ from the needs of someone in their 50s making retirement plans. It can be valuable to consider how life insurance fits into your broader financial goals and life plans.</p> <p>For instance, young adults might view life insurance as a way to financially protect their <a class="Link" href="https://www.bankrate.com/insurance/life-insurance/family-life-insurance/">growing families</a>. In contrast, individuals in their peak earning years might focus more on how life insurance can supplement retirement income or pay estate taxes.</p> <p>Given the complexity and the personal nature of these decisions, pinpointing an exact age to buy life insurance can be difficult. However, consulting with a licensed life insurance agent could provide invaluable advice. They can guide you through the various options and help tailor a policy that aligns with your evolving needs and goals, ensuring that you choose a plan that is most beneficial for your specific circumstances.</p></div> </div> <div id="how-to-save-on-your-life-insurance-premium" class="SectionWithTocItem " > <div class="wysiwyg display-block w-full"> <h2>How to save on your life insurance premium</h2> <p>Life insurance can be an important part of your overall financial plan, but it can be expensive depending on your rating factors, the coverage limit you need, the policy type you choose and the riders you add. And, unlike <a class="Link" href="https://www.bankrate.com/insurance/car/best-car-insurance-companies/">auto</a> and <a class="Link" href="https://www.bankrate.com/insurance/homeowners-insurance/best-home-insurance-companies/">home insurance</a>, life insurance does not offer discounts to help offset the cost. Here is a list of steps you can take to possibly earn a lower premium:</p> <h3>Make health and lifestyle changes</h3> <p>Making certain health and lifestyle changes can typically improve your life insurance rates. For instance, quitting tobacco use can significantly lower your premiums, as insurers usually charge more for smokers due to the associated health risks. Those who fall in the <a class="Link" href="https://www.bankrate.com/insurance/life-insurance/overweight-people/">overweight</a> or obese range may pay more for life insurance, as it may be associated with a greater risk of diseases that can affect mortality. Therefore, maintaining a healthy weight is also beneficial. Those within a healthy weight range are generally seen as lower risk, potentially leading to more affordable life insurance. Additionally, actively managing any health conditions by following your doctor's treatment plan and taking prescribed medications can show insurers that you are committed to maintaining your health, which may positively influence your rates.</p> <h3>Consider different policy types</h3> <p>When comparing life insurance options, assessing different policy types is important to find the best fit for your needs. There are various options, such as term life, whole life and indexed universal life insurance, each with its own benefits and drawbacks. For those looking for temporary or short-term coverage, term life insurance may be the most cost-effective. On the other hand, permanent life insurance options, such as whole life or <a class="Link" href="https://www.bankrate.com/insurance/life-insurance/indexed-universal/">indexed universal life</a>, offer extended coverage options and a cash value component, though they are typically more expensive.</p> <p>Additionally, consider the <a class="Link" href="https://www.bankrate.com/insurance/life-insurance/life-insurance-ladder/">laddering strategy</a> to save on life insurance. Laddering involves purchasing multiple term life insurance policies with staggered expiration dates to cover different financial responsibilities at various stages of life. For example, you might have a 10-year policy for immediate needs, a 20-year policy for mid-term needs like mortgage payments and a 30-year policy for long-term protection. This approach can be more economical than purchasing one large policy.</p> <p>By exploring different policy types and considering strategies like laddering, you can tailor your life insurance coverage to meet your unique financial needs and potentially save money.</p> <h3>Consider buying life insurance sooner</h3> <p>Purchasing life insurance at a younger age can be advantageous for several reasons. Life insurance premiums are typically lower when you are younger because insurers view younger policyholders as lower risk. As you age, not only does the cost of insurance increase, but the likelihood of developing health conditions also rises. Health issues can lead to higher premiums or even disqualification from certain types of coverage.</p> <p>By securing a policy while you're young and healthy, you can lock in more affordable rates and ensure coverage before any potential health issues arise. Whether you choose term or permanent life insurance, buying sooner rather than later can provide financial protection for your loved ones at a more manageable cost.</p></div> </div> <div id="frequently-asked-questions" class="SectionWithTocItem " > <div class="wysiwyg display-inline"> <h2>Frequently asked questions</h2></div> <ul class="Accordion w-full" data-cy="accordion-dbe4782a-25fd-439e-a2e6-1932a567b50e"> <li x-id="['panel-how-much-does-life-insurance-cost', 'heading-how-much-does-life-insurance-cost']" x-data="{ expanded: 0, disableMobileHover: 0, }" class="Accordion-item" > <button class="Accordion-titleContainer px-3 py-4 sm:px-6 group sm:py-6" :id="$id('heading-how-much-does-life-insurance-cost')" :aria-controls="$id('panel-how-much-does-life-insurance-cost')" :aria-expanded="expanded ? true : false" x-on:click="expanded = !expanded" data-beam-element-clicked-no-delay id="" data-type="accordion" data-location="faq section" data-name=" how much does life insurance cost?
