Life Insurance Calculator Details

Find out how much life insurance you need with Polcygenius’ free calculator — and estimate how much that coverage will cost per month.

What factors affect life insurance quotes?

Age

Premiums decrease as you age. Life insurance rates rise by 4.5% to 9% annually due to increased risk with age. Secure coverage early for lower premiums and long-term financial security.

Gender

Women pay 24% less for life insurance on average. With longer life expectancies, they present lower near-term risk to insurance companies, resulting in reduced premiums.

Health

Severe health conditions can result in high rates or coverage denial, while mild conditions may only slightly affect premium costs. The impact on premiums depends on the severity of the health condition.

Lifestyle

Risky hobbies like skydiving or deep-sea scuba diving can raise life insurance premiums due to the associated hazards.

How much life insurance do you need?

Generally speaking, you’ll need enough life insurance to cover your financial obligations. Your coverage amount — also called the death benefit of your policy — should be enough to help your beneficiaries cover any expenses they’d be responsible for in your absence — including costs related to housing, raising children, or paying down debt.
