Life insurance is a significant investment that can safeguard your family from financial burden. When setting the prices for life insurance policies, it is important to take into account the key factors that insurance companies consider when determining the cost of your premiums.

What Impacts Your Term Life Insurance Premium?

Several factors directly or indirectly impact your term life insurance premiums. These include:

  • Age 

Your age is the main determinant of life insurance premium costs. Life insurance is cheaper for younger individuals with longer life spans and lower chances of falling ill. Sometimes, if you reach a certain age, you might no longer meet the requirements for life insurance. On average, life insurance premiums can increase by 8% to 10% each year as you get older. The longer you delay purchasing life insurance, the higher your premiums will be. 

Keep in mind that once your term life insurance policy ends, and if you decide to purchase insurance again, the cost will probably increase due to your age and potential changes in your health conditions. For comprehensive protection, consider 1 crore term insurance. 

  • Health Status 

During the underwriting process of most insurance companies, a medical assessment will be conducted to gather information like height, weight, blood pressure, cholesterol, and other crucial data. An ECG or EKG might be necessary to examine your heart in certain situations. 

  • Gender

The cost of life insurance is also greatly influenced by gender. Insurance companies are utilising statistical models to predict how long individuals with specific profiles will remain present. On average, women live nearly five years longer than men, leading to decreased mortality rates.

  • Lifestyle of an individual 

Engaging in high-risk hobbies such as driving cars, scuba diving, or rock climbing will likely result in higher insurance costs. Certain companies may also be imposing increased fees if you work in a risky job like law enforcement or mining.

  • Family Health History 

A family history of stroke, cancer, or other serious medical conditions can lead to higher life insurance rates due to a predisposition to these illnesses. Insurance providers are particularly concerned about any health issues experienced by your parents or siblings that may have led to an early death. Certain life insurance companies place a greater emphasis on your family’s health history compared to others.

  • Smoking and Drinking Habits 

Smoking increases your chances of experiencing numerous health issues. As a result, life insurance companies charge smokers higher premiums. Smokers could face costs that are over double those of nonsmokers for similar insurance coverage. 

An insurance company might categorise you as a smoker even if you smoke cigarettes, cigars, or vapes on occasion. Your insurance policy may be cancelled if you are dishonest about your smoking habits and are discovered lying to the company.

Conclusion 

Get to know various forms of life insurance, including term, whole-term, and variable life insurance. Next, consider seeking advice from a financial expert to decide on the most suitable life insurance for your needs and objectives and discover ways to lower your premium expenses. You can also make use of a term insurance calculator to estimate the right coverage amount and premiums based on your personal details and financial needs.
