$15 to $25 a month estimated cost for a healthy 30-year-old to get a $250,000 term life insurance policy
Monthly premiums for a $250,000 life insurance policy differ dramatically by product type, with term coverage typically costing a fraction of permanent alternatives. Whole, universal, and variable life policies run several times higher due to their investment components and lifetime coverage guarantees. Final expense policies, offering much smaller benefits, also carry premiums that scale with their simplified underwriting and guaranteed issue features.
