Average Costs of Life Insurance Over 30
Your are in your thirties and are looking to get a life insurance policy - great! This is the perfect age to get insurance coverage - your rates will be incredibly affordable and you'll be able to get a large death benefit.
For example, a 30 year old male in good health, non-smoker can get a 30-year term policy in the amount of half-million dollars for around $45 per month.
In contrast, a 30 year old female in good health, non tobacco user, can get a 30-year term policy in the amount of $500,000 dollars for around $35 per month.
What's the policy amount you are looking for:
What Type of Life Insurance to Get?
Since term life insurance costs less than permanent life insurance (whole and universal), this may be the best option for you and your family. At your young age, getting a 30-year term policy is the recommended term. Keep in mind that a term policy expires at the end of the term. So, if you are
35 years of age and get a thirty year policy, your coverage will end at 65.
If you want to have an insurance policy with an investment component that covers you for life, a whole life insurance policy is the way to go. This policy type covers you until you die, plus you can borrow against it throughout your life, but it will be significantly more expensive.

How Much Life Insurance Will You Need?
You have to consider many factors when figuring out how much coverage you'll need. What's your present income, do you have a mortgage, do you have student loans, do you have children and how many, do you have any savings, does your spouse work, what's his/hers income, do you have any other dependents, plus many more factors.
Your Health Matters
Just because your are in your thirties, it does not mean life insurance companies will approve you for coverage automatically. You will have to submit to a medical exam, often performed by a nurse at your home, that will determine your health status. So, if you are a smoker, heavy drinker, overweight or obese, and with high-blood pressure, you may not get approved, or your rates will be much higher than a healthy 30 year old.
On the other hand, if you are a healthy men or woman in your thirties, live a healthy lifestyle, don't smoke or drink heavily, your rates will be cheap and you'll get approved without a problem.
