Term Life Insurance

Shopping The Market

I refer to TERM Specific life insurance as a plan that provides a Level Death Benefit for a Specific Period of time, typically to age 75 or 80. Often, these plans are renewable at a guaranteed level, without further medicals, for a specified period of time. They range from 1, 5, 10, 15, 20 and sometimes longer. The premium for successive term periods is always higher based on the then attained age of the life insured. (age at the beginning of the current term period.)

Up to a specified age (age 65 or 70 usually), many of these plans may be exchanged (or Converted) without medicals, for life long plan. (a Term 100, Universal Life or Whole Life.)

In shopping for a product, the benefits and policy terms are as important as the price. When comparative shopping compare

  • policy terms, benefits,
  • as well as the price.

NOTICE: By enlarge Term 100 is dead.  Low interest rates and unprofitable pricing have virtually eliminated Term 100 from the market.

*IMPORTANT NOTE

Rates Change frequently, at least monthly. Rates change by plan, age, sex, amount of coverage and risk category. The position of companies by these categories change constantly. The purpose of the chart is to demonstrate the variability of rates among companies at any one time and not the competitiveness of any one company.

The other factor to consider is plan types that practice post claim underwriting. This may be more convenient but has a potential for not being full protective.
