How Much Does Term Life Insurance Cost? 
It depends on how much you need and for how long you need it . It also depends on your age health and other factors . Term life insurance can cover a temporary need and is very affordable . For example , assuming you are a male age 40 in excellent health and in need of coverage for 30 years , it may be possible to obtain $ 500,000 coverage for a level premium for that duration that amounts to a little more than $ 2 per day . For lifetime coverage that you can not outlive , you would need to consider permanent -LRB- cash value -RRB- life insurance coverage and the cost for that is higher . You should meet with a life insurance professional who can assist you .
