When Do Life Insurance Rates Go Up?

Do life insurance rates increase?

The cost of a life insurance policy increases with your age. That's why it is important to buy a policy while you are young and healthy to lock-in a low rate for your coverage.

Once you have life insurance protection, your rate usually remains the same for the life of your policy if you have permanent life insurance.

If you have a term life insurance plan your rate remains the same each year for the life of your term, usually from 10 to 30 years.

However, some term life policies offer coverage up to age 70, but your rate is level for the first 20 years you are insured.

There may be some other variations of rate change for term life policies depending on the type of plan offered by various insurers.
