Why the prices differ
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.
Term horizon
A 30-year initial term beginning at age 46 reaches approximately age 76. Consider when your obligations end; renewal terms and future premiums depend on the contract.

Ordered by lowest shown sample among non-smoking male applicants aged 41–50 buying $500,000 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.
What does a 30-year term starting at 46 actually cover?
It covers the 30 years from issue, so a policy issued to a male non-smoker aged 46 runs to about age 76. 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 $500,000 sample depend on being male?
Yes. Insurers in Canada rate life insurance using sex where provincial rules allow, so the $500,000 samples published here are for a male applicant aged 46 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 46. 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.
Does a 30-year term line up with a 46-year-old's obligations?
A 30-year term from age 46 reaches about age 76, 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.
What does the 12 monthly payments column mean for a male non-smoker aged 46?
It is the twelve monthly sample premiums added up, for a male non-smoker aged 46. It is not a quote for an annual payment plan, which an insurer may price differently.
Is $500,000 the right amount for this profile?
That depends on your debts, dependants, income and existing assets rather than on age alone. $500K is the face amount published for a male non-smoker aged 46, 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 46?
This page prices $500,000 of 30-year term for a male non-smoker aged 46. 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 76. The related pages below link this same profile at other terms.
