How This Calculator Works
A rough monthly premium for level term life insurance from your age, term length, coverage amount and health class.
The formula
- Base rate per $1,000 of cover per month = $0.024 × 1.055(age − 20)
- Term-length factor: 10 years × 1.00, 20 years × 1.15, 30 years × 1.45
- Health-class factor: Preferred Plus × 0.85, Preferred × 1.00, Standard × 1.35, Smoker / moderate risk × 2.10
- Monthly premium = coverage ÷ 1,000 × base rate × term factor × health factor, with a $14 minimum
- Annual premium = monthly × 12; cost over the whole term = annual × number of years
Assumptions and limits
- Every factor above is our assumption. The 5.5%-a-year rise with age is a smoothed curve meant to resemble how published term prices climb; it is not built from a mortality table or any insurer’s rates.
- Real prices also depend on sex, state, medical and family history, hobbies and each insurer’s underwriting, none of which this tool asks about.
- Use the result to sanity-check quotes, not to replace them.

Frequently Asked Questions: Term Insurance Calculator
Expert mathematical answers, formula explanations, and related comparison guides.
What term length should I choose: 10, 20, or 30 years?
Your term length should mirror the duration of your largest financial obligations—such as the remaining years on your home mortgage or until your youngest dependent reaches financial independence.

What happens when my term insurance policy expires?
When a level term policy reaches the end of its guarantee period, the coverage either lapses or renews on an annual renewable term (ART) basis at dramatically higher premiums. Read our editorial analysis on What Happens When Insurance Expires to review conversion riders and re-entry options.
Can I convert my term policy into whole life without a medical exam?
Yes, most quality level term policies feature a contractual conversion rider that allows you to transition to a permanent policy before age 65 or 70 without providing new evidence of insurability. Review our comparison in Term vs. Whole Life Insurance.
