How Does the Term Insurance Calculator Work? (Backend Calculation on Mortality)
Just like any other sector, life insurance, too has its own set of terms that you need to understand. One such term is the Mortality Charge. When you purchase a life insurance plan, the insurance company levies a charge to cover the expenses for providing insurance protection upon death.
This levied charge is known as the mortality charge. The estimation of mortality charges is done as per the Standard Annual Mortality Charges 1 table, which, in turn, is based on the historical data on life expectancy in India. On the other hand, the mortality rate is defined as an insurer’s anticipation of the number of deaths occurring amongst a group of insured individuals, for a certain age.
Typically, mortality rates are considered lower for younger, healthier individuals who do not work in a high-risk job profile. Therefore, the term insurance premium rates vary with age.

How Does Age Affect Your Premium Calculation?
Your age is the most critical factor that determines your rate of premium. When you apply for term insurance, the rate of premium varies with your age.
For example, a 30-year old male (non-smoker, annual income between 7-10 lakhs) would have to pay a premium of Rs 4,720 (inclusive GST) for a term insurance cover of Rs. 50 lakhs, availing coverage up to the age of 60, while the premium payment term is of 30 years (under Regular Pay option), if he chooses to purchase Max Life Online Term Plan Plus (UIN 104N092V04). **
** A Non-Linked Non-Participating Individual Pure Risk Premium Life Insurance Plan
On the other hand, a 40-year old male (non-smoker, annual income between 7-10 lakhs) will have to pay Rs 7,198 (inclusive GST) for the same term insurance coverage tenure (up to 60 years of age), but his premium payment term will be 20 years, under Max Life Online Term Plan Plus (UIN 104N092V04). **
** A Non-Linked Non-Participating Individual Pure Risk Premium Life Insurance Plan

What Is the Impact of Premium Calculation on Smokers?
Smoking can increase your chances of developing life-threatening ailments such as lung cancer or throat cancer. Insurance companies; therefore, categorize smokers as high-risk and ask them to pay higher premiums.
If you smoke regularly or have been consuming any tobacco product for 12 months before purchasing term insurance, you will be considered a high-risk asset by the insurance company and will have to pay a higher premium amount than non-smokers.
Why Occupation Impacts Term Insurance Premium Calculation?
Your occupation also plays an integral part in determining your term insurance premium amount. Insurer categorizes some professions as high risk than others, such as defense, aviation, oil, and coal mining. On the other hand, individuals working in offices with a desk job, IT professionals, shop owners, and teachers are a low-risk asset.
Generally, people working in safer environments may pay a lower premium than those working in a high-risk work environment.
