Best Term Life Insurance Rates

In the beginning, one thing to point out is that getting a “quote” and qualifying for that quote are two different things.

We at IBUSA do our best to give you a realistic picture of how much life insurance will cost rather than try to lure you in with promises of $10 monthly rates.

Below, we provide sample life insurance rates by age for both term and whole life insurance, starting with term life insurance.

Each sample term life insurance quote is for the best rate class from top-rated companies. Rates are for informational purposes only, are subject to change, and must be qualified for.

How Long of a Term Do I Need?

In 2021, you can get as little as one year of annual renewable or five-year term life insurance and up to a 35- or 40-year term life insurance policy.

Only a handful of companies offer 35- or 40-year terms, but if those companies succeed, we imagine more companies will follow.

Some factors to consider

Various factors must be considered when determining the length of a term period.

For example, someone looking to secure a small business loan with life insurance as collateral will probably be okay with a 10-year term.

However, a new father or mother might want a 20-year term policy to ensure coverage until their newborn reaches adulthood. For most new parents, having coverage in pl each child reaches independence is a great idea.

Also, new homeowners do well with a 30-year term life because it matches the 30-year mortgage they just took out.

You might want to lock into a level-term life insurance policy for as long as possible, in which case a 40-year term life insurance policy will be the best option.

Alternatively, if term life insurance is not the right choice, you might consider whole life insurance.

How Is My Life Insurance Rate Determined?

Apart from small whole life insurance policies used primarily for final expense insurance, life insurance companies offer the best life insurance rates to applicants who pass a health screening, often accompanied by a medical exam.

You can qualify for various health ratings, such as:

  • Preferred Best
  • Preferred
  • Standard Plus
  • Standard
  • Substandard (Table Rated)
  • Preferred Tobacco
  • Standard Tobacco

If you have a pre-existing condition, you can check out our pre-existing conditions page to determine what health rate class you may qualify for.

In addition to looking closely at your health, life insurance companies perform background checks on every applicant.

Background checks may include:

  • Attending Physician Statement (APS)
  • Medical Information Bureau (MIB)
  • Prescription Database
  • Motor Vehicle Records (MVR)
  • Credit Report (looking for a recent bankruptcy)

Your Occupation and Hobbies

Your occupation and hobbies also weigh heavily on what rate class you receive (or if you will even be approved). Certain dangerous occupations and hobbies will automatically disqualify you, while other jobs and hobbies might drop you a life insurance rating or two.

An example of dangerous hobbies are:

  • Motorcross
  • Rock Climbing
  • Sky Diving
  • Scuba Diving to depths of 100 feet

And some dangerous jobs are:

  • Logger
  • Deep Sea Fisherman
  • Underwater Welder
  • Some Law Enforcement Positions, such as SWAT teams

Finding and securing the best life insurance rates requires extensive research. The key is working with an agency that represents many of the top companies in the USA.

So, if you are shopping for term life and want to make sure you find the best rates based on your unique health and lifestyle, give our team at IBUSA a call today. You’ll be glad you did.
