For a healthy non-smoker in their 30s, a 20-year, $500,000 term life policy often costs roughly $20 to $40 a month, though your price depends on age, health, tobacco use, coverage amount, and term length.
Rates rise with age, so locking in coverage earlier usually costs less over time. Permanent policies, such as whole or universal life, cost significantly more than term because they last your whole life and build cash value.
Where you live has little effect on life insurance pricing. Your health and the carrier you choose matter far more, so comparing multiple carriers is the best way to find the lowest rate.
