A common form of life insurance coverage is “level term life insurance”. With this form of life insurance coverage, the premium is guaranteed to be the same for a given period of years. The common terms are 10 years, 15 years, 20 years, and 30 years. The longer the guaranteed level period, the higher the premium. You are locking in a rate and must pay for the length of the lock in.

The insurance premium paid each year is the same for the duration of the policy (contract). The cost is based on the summed cost of each year’s annual renewable term rates. A major factor in the premium calculation is the time value of money and is adjusted by the insurer. The longer term the premium is level for, the higher your cost.

It is more expensive to purchase life coverage the older you get. If you select a period of level premium that is longer, the higher cost years are averaged into the policy premium.
