Formula Used
This calculator estimates term insurance premium with a structured pricing model. It blends coverage size, age, term length, lifestyle, occupation risk, riders, discount, payment mode, and tax.
Base Premium = (Coverage ÷ 1,000) × Base Rate × Age Factor × Term Factor × Gender Factor × Smoker Factor × Occupation Factor
Rider Cost = Base Premium × (Inflation Rider + Critical Illness Rider + Accidental Death Rider)
Discounted Premium = (Base Premium + Rider Cost) × (1 − Discount Rate)
Total Annual Premium = Discounted Premium × Payment Loading + Tax
Total Policy Cost = Total Annual Premium × Policy Term
The payment loading is 1.00 for annual, 1.03 for semi-annual, 1.05 for quarterly, and 1.08 for monthly payments.

FAQs
1. What does this calculator estimate?
It estimates term insurance premiums using a transparent mathematical model. Inputs include age, coverage, term, smoking status, riders, occupation risk, taxes, and payment frequency.
2. Is this premium quote exact?
No. It is an educational estimate. Actual insurer quotes can vary after underwriting, medical checks, regional rules, and company-specific pricing methods.
3. Why does smoking increase the premium?
Smoking usually raises health risk. Higher insurer risk often leads to higher expected claim costs, which can increase the premium multiplier.
4. How do riders affect the result?
Riders add benefits like critical illness or accidental coverage. Each selected rider increases the base premium by a defined percentage.
5. Why does payment frequency matter?
Frequent payments often cost more overall. Monthly or quarterly billing may include administrative loading compared with a single annual payment.
6. Can I use this for policy comparison?
Yes. Enter different assumptions and compare annual premium, rider cost, and total policy cost before requesting insurer quotations.
7. What is total policy cost?
It represents the estimated sum of yearly premiums across the full policy term. It helps with long-range affordability planning.
8. Why is a graph included?
The graph shows how premium estimates may move across policy years. It makes long-term cost patterns easier to understand quickly.
