Sample premiums extracted September 10, 2026; subject to underwriting. Not all applicants qualify.
Each insurer prices the same risk with its own underwriting rules, health-class definitions and policy features. The spread is not a discount and not a promise of savings. Every figure is a dated sample extracted September 10, 2026 from insurer advisor portals and is subject to underwriting.
A 30-year initial term beginning at age 42 reaches approximately age 72. Consider when your obligations end; renewal terms and future premiums depend on the contract.
PEER GROUP
Ordered by lowest shown sample among non-smoking female applicants aged 37–47 buying $100,000 of 30-year term. Position describes published data only: a lower sample is not a better policy, because features, conversion options, eligibility and underwriting differ. Every figure is a dated sample, subject to underwriting.
It covers the 30 years from issue, so a policy issued to a female non-smoker aged 42 runs to about age 72. 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.
Yes. Insurers in Canada rate life insurance using sex where provincial rules allow, so the $100,000 samples published here are for a female applicant aged 42 and are not interchangeable with the male-applicant figures. Subject to underwriting.
The samples on this page are for a non-smoker aged 42. 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.
A 30-year term from age 42 reaches about age 72, which is often when a mortgage is retired or children become independent. Match the term to when the obligation ends rather than to the monthly figure alone.
It is the twelve monthly sample premiums added up, for a female non-smoker aged 42. It is not a quote for an annual payment plan, which an insurer may price differently.
That depends on your debts, dependants, income and existing assets rather than on age alone. $100K is the face amount published for a female non-smoker aged 42, so it can be compared like for like; size it with the coverage calculator or an Ontario advisor before applying.
This page prices $100,000 of 30-year term for a female non-smoker aged 42. 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 72. The related pages below link this same profile at other terms.
