Questions, answered

Cost of Waiting — FAQ

Does life insurance get more expensive as you age?+

Yes. It's priced largely on your age at purchase, and a level-premium policy locks that rate in. Every year you wait, the rate for the same coverage generally rises — and a health change can raise it further or limit options.

How much does waiting cost?+

It depends on your age and how long you wait, but the difference compounds over the life of the policy. This tool shows an illustrative estimate of the extra monthly and lifetime cost.

Is this a quote?+

No — illustrative estimates for education. Your real rate depends on age, health, coverage, and carrier.
