Secure Your Lowest Life Insurance Rate Today
As time goes on, life insurance rates tend to go up. By choosing to invest in a policy now, you’re ensuring that you lock in the most affordable premium, saving you money in the long run.
A Smart Strategy to Save on Life Insurance
Getting life insurance early on is a wise move, setting you up for the best possible rates. On average, life insurance costs can rise by 8% with each year you wait. But once you’ve signed your policy, your rate is fixed and won’t change for the duration of the policy’s term.
Real World Scenario
Life Insurance Rates: A Look at the Numbers by Age As you get older, life insurance tends to get more expensive. We’ve put together a chart based on our policies to show how premiums change across different age groups. The quotes here represent a 10-year term life insurance policy with a $1 million death benefit for applicants in good health. In this scenario, a 35-year-old non-smoker would pay around $65 per month, while a 45-year-old non-smoker would pay about $135 per month for the same policy. By choosing to get insured at 35 instead of 45, you could save around $840 annually throughout the policy.
Common mistakes people make when it comes to Life Insurance
Waiting Until Parenthood:
Delaying life insurance until you have children could mean missing out on years of lower premiums. Life insurance isn’t just for parents; it can cover personal debts, medical bills, your mortgage, lost income, and even funeral costs.
Your health is a major factor in determining your premium. Generally, the healthier you are, the less you pay. So, getting life insurance while you’re young and healthy can be a smart move. As you age, the risk of health issues increases, potentially leading to higher premiums and making it harder to get insured. Securing life insurance early helps safeguard you and your dependents against unforeseen changes.
Over-Reliance on Work Coverage:
While life insurance through your employer is a great perk, it often isn’t enough. These policies typically offer coverage equal to one or two times your annual salary, but experts suggest having coverage around ten times your salary. Plus, if your job situation changes (due to retirement, a layoff, or a job switch), you could lose that coverage. If that happens when you’re older or if you’ve developed a health condition, finding new coverage could be more expensive and challenging. Having your own policy ensures that you and your loved ones are protected, no matter what.
