What this profile shows
For a male non-smoker aged 27 buying $1,000,000 of 10-year term coverage, the current QuoteCompass extract contains 6 medically underwritten insurer samples. The lowest shown sample premium is $36.90 a month from Empire Life and the highest is $39.90 from Manulife — a difference of $3.00 a month, or $36.00 across twelve monthly payments, for identical coverage and term. That spread exists because each insurer prices the same risk with its own underwriting rules, health-class definitions and policy features; it is not a discount and it is not a promise of savings. Every figure is a dated sample extracted September 10, 2026 from insurer advisor portals and is subject to underwriting — health, eligibility and current insurer pricing determine the final offer. No-medical products are priced and underwritten separately and are excluded from this comparison.
A 10-year initial term beginning at age 27 reaches approximately age 37. Consider when your obligations end; renewal terms and future premiums depend on the contract.
How this profile compares
The current extract publishes 11 profiles for non-smoking male applicants aged 22–32 buying $1,000,000 of 10-year term. Ordered by lowest shown sample, this profile sits at position 11 of 11, its own lowest shown sample being $36.90 a month from Empire Life. The median for that peer group is $36.90 a month, and the group runs from $35.55 at age 30 to $36.90 at age 27. That position describes the published data only — a lower sample is not a better policy, because product features, conversion options, eligibility and underwriting differ between insurers. Every figure is a dated sample, subject to underwriting.
Frequently asked questions for a male non-smoker aged 27
What does a 10-year term starting at 27 actually cover?
It covers the 10 years from issue, so a policy issued to a male non-smoker aged 27 runs to about age 37. The premium is level for that initial period only; what happens at renewal, and at what price, depends on the contract and on the insurer's rates at the time.
Does the $1,000,000 sample depend on being male?
Yes. Insurers in Canada rate life insurance using sex where provincial rules allow, so the $1,000,000 samples published here are for a male applicant aged 27 and are not interchangeable with the female-applicant figures. Subject to underwriting.
What if I have used tobacco in the past?
The samples on this page are for a non-smoker aged 27. Insurers ask how long ago tobacco use stopped and may still place recent use in a smoking class, so past use is worth disclosing up front. Subject to underwriting.
Why compare a 10-year term at 27 rather than waiting?
A policy issued at 27 fixes the initial premium for 10 years, to about age 37, and the price is set at the age you are underwritten. Waiting means being underwritten at an older age, and a shorter term would end sooner and expose you to re-rating earlier.
What does the 12 monthly payments column mean for a male non-smoker aged 27?
It is the twelve monthly sample premiums added up, for a male non-smoker aged 27. It is not a quote for an annual payment plan, which an insurer may price differently.
Is $1,000,000 the right amount for this profile?
That depends on your debts, dependants, income and existing assets rather than on age alone. $1M is the face amount published for a male non-smoker aged 27, so it can be compared like for like; size it with the coverage calculator or an Ontario advisor before applying.
Should I also compare other term lengths at 27?
This page prices $1,000,000 of 10-year term for a male non-smoker aged 27. At the same coverage a shorter term usually lowers the monthly sample and ends sooner, while a longer one usually costs more and covers past age 37. The related pages below link this same profile at other terms.
