Term to 100 life insurance

Term to 100 life insurance is often referred to as a permanent life insurance policy. The period of coverage, as the name suggests, is until the policyholder turns 100 years of age. It is different from permanent life insurance policies in that it usually has no cash values and is non-participating (meaning that it will not pay out dividends.) As a result, as permanent life insurance policies go, it is one of the most affordable.

Age
Premium - Male
Premium - Female
50 $1216 $963
55 $1636 $1315
60 $2118 $1696
*Lowest quote offered online at Kanetix for a non-smoker in April, 2011.
Premiums shown are the premiums if paid annually.


Term to 100 life insurance is best suited for individuals 50 and older because, so long as the policy is kept in force, the premiums will not increase even as the policyholder ages. Last year, the Term to 100 life insurance product accounted for almost 15 per cent of life insurance quotes, making it the third most popular life insurance product at Kanetix.ca.
