How Much Does It Cost For Term Life Insurance? 
It 'll be different for each person as there are many factors that go into the premium calculations for life insurance including their age , gender , amount of coverage they want , how long they want the coverage for -LRB- guaranteed to age 90 , 95 , 100 , 121 , etc. -RRB- , any tobacco usage , and their risk classification -LRB- determined by the medical history -RRB- . The risk classification is the MOST critical factor in determining the cost -LRB- premium -RRB- of a life insurance policy . The risk class depends on a number of factors including whether you 're male or female , your medical history , height/weight profile , any tobacco usage , and other factors . Please keep in mind - every carrier has their own set of underwriting guidelines and mortality tables , and each may offer a different risk class for a given medical profile - e.g. company A may offer preferred -LRB- featuring lower rates -RRB- and company B may only offer standard -LRB- featuring higher rates -RRB- . I would suggest consulting with an experienced independent life insurance broker who can work with you on a personal level and help determine the coverage structure that is appropriate/suitable for your needs and budget and which carrier will work best for your program .
