How much is life insurance for a 50-year-old?

A healthy non-smoking 50-year-old typically pays about $58/mo–$230/mo per month for $250,000–$1,000,000 of level term coverage, depending on term length and health. Rates lock at your age when you apply, so the price only goes up as you get older.

Do I need a medical exam?

Most healthy applicants qualify for no-exam accelerated underwriting — approvals often in days. Seniors can usually get final expense coverage with simple health questions only.
