How much does life insurance cost for a 20 year old?

Answered by 4 licensed agents

Call an agent and they can discuss that with you or get hold of me and we can talk when ready to go over all those options.

There are variables on this, of course. Such as whether the 20-year-old is healthy, whether they're male or female, and if they're getting a term life policy or a permanent whole life policy (that can earn cash value).

Generally, though, a healthy 20-year-old can expect to pay around $15-$18 a month for a term life policy with a death benefit of $500,000. It goes up or down from there depending on coverage needs.

There is no one answer for the premium payment on life insurance. A 20 year old will have low rates. Get with a local agent who can do a thorough job of asking you questions to find the right product at the best rate for you.

Cost of life insurance depends on a couple of things. It depends on the type and length of the policy.
