About our rate data: premium figures from our placed-policy data (“our book”) are real premiums from Guaranteed Issue and Simplified Issue life insurance policies placed through our service for seniors aged 50–80 — not carrier-published quotes or fully underwritten term rates. Premiums vary by age, gender, health and coverage amount. See our full methodology.
