Note
This is generic arithmetic using the amounts, rates and factors you entered. It is not an insurance quote, a policy interpretation, or financial advice. No insurer rate, jurisdiction rule, statutory limit or policy wording is built in. Real premiums and payouts depend on underwriting, your policy's exact terms and exclusions, and applicable regulation; confirm with your insurer or a licensed professional.

What does 'premium per $1,000 of coverage' mean?+
Insurers price term life in units: a rate table gives a cost per $1,000 of death benefit based on your age, sex, health class, and term length. Multiplying that rate by (coverage amount / 1,000) gives your estimated annual or monthly premium.
Why does age affect the rate per $1,000 so much?+
Mortality risk rises with age, so the cost to insure each $1,000 climbs steadily, and more sharply after age 50. A 30-year-old might pay a fraction of what a 55-year-old pays for the identical coverage amount and term.
Is this an exact quote from an insurance company?+
No, it's an estimate based on typical published rate tables. Your actual premium depends on underwriting: medical exam results, family history, tobacco use, and the specific insurer's pricing, which can vary by 30% or more between carriers.
Why does a 30-year term cost more per $1,000 than a 10-year term?+
A longer term locks in a rate over more years during which you'll statistically age and your mortality risk increases, so insurers charge more upfront to spread that risk across the whole level-premium period.
Does my health class change the result significantly?+
Yes, moving from 'standard' to 'preferred' or 'preferred plus' health classes can cut the rate per $1,000 by 30-50%, since insurers reward lower blood pressure, healthy BMI, and no tobacco use with meaningfully lower pricing.
