You must contact your agent to determine that answer. It depends on type of policy you would like or need to purchase. A term policy is policy that would be the cheapest, but then There are different types of term policies. A whole life policy will cost more, but it’s good for the whole life of the person. And a universal life is somewhere in between the two. there are other policies to look at like index life, variablelife, etc.

There isn't a one-size-fits-all answer because life insurance premiums depend on factors such as age, health, tobacco use, coverage amount, and policy type. As a general estimate, a healthy, non-smoking 50-year-old might pay anywhere from about $25 to $75 per month for a $250,000 20-year term policy. The best way to know the actual cost is to compare quotes based on your individual situation. To check your options, you should speak to an agent to help determine your options for your specific situation.
