Things To Know Before Using A Term Life Insurance Premium Calculator
Before using the premium calculator, it’s best to understand the factors that determine the premium of the term life insurance:
- Life Cover
Life cover is the key variable on which the premium is based. Premiums vary for different life covers. They are generally directly proportional to the life cover amount. Higher the coverage, higher will be the premium.
Here is an example from the Exide Life Elite Term Plan –premium calculator.
A 30-year-old non-smoker male will pay ₹6,782* for a life cover of ₹1 crore, for a 12-year term plan. If the life cover is ₹2 crore, the premium is ₹12,300* keeping the other factors constant.
- Age Matters
The earlier you start your term plan, the better. You pay lower premiums at a younger age. Peruse the table to see the difference of premiums across the different ages.
