How to Calculate the Cost of Universal Life Insurance?

The cost of a universal life insurance policy can be estimated using a formula that takes into account several factors:

Estimated Monthly Cost (C) is calculated as:

§§ C = \left( \frac{A}{T} \right) \times \left( 1 + \frac{R}{100} \right) \times M §§

where:

  • § C § — estimated monthly cost
  • § A § — coverage amount (total insurance benefit)
  • § T § — policy term (in years)
  • § R § — expected investment return (as a percentage)
  • § M § — gender multiplier (1.1 for males, 1 for females)

This formula provides an estimate of how much you can expect to pay monthly for your universal life insurance policy based on the inputs provided.

Example:

  • Coverage Amount (§ A §): $100,000
  • Policy Term (§ T §): 20 years
  • Expected Investment Return (§ R §): 5%
  • Gender (§ M §): Male

Estimated Monthly Cost:

§§ C = \left( \frac{100000}{20} \right) \times \left( 1 + \frac{5}{100} \right) \times 1.1 = 550.00 \text{ USD} §§
