life

Every life insurance company has been lowering rates over the past few years to compete for your business. Unfortunately, you won't qualify for their lowest rates unless you have perfect health, family history, and driving record. If you don't first determine your underwriting class, you may find out weeks later that you don't qualify. Then, your choice is to take a higher rate or start over with another life insurance company.

We have developed software to solve this problem. Just answer a few questions about your health and other underwriting variables, and our software will determine which company will rate you in the most favorable class. Then, we access the Term4Sale.com® database of over 150 companies to get the latest rates.

So, you can find your best company, whether or not you are in the top underwriting class. (If you want the entire list for reference, click here, but keep in mind that you may not qualify for these rates.)

your best life insurance company

Consider this example: John is a 45 year old male, nonsmoker, who needs $500,000 of term insurance for 10 years. His only health impairment is a high cholesterol level (290), which is offset by a great cholesterol ratio (4.0). The lowest rate from the Term4Sale.com® database is Americom Life at $300 per year. Unfortunately, to qualify for Americom's lowest rate, John's cholesterol would need to be less than 200. John would end up paying $715 per year for Americom's standard rate.

If John had used our software, he would have seen that Transamerica screens for cholesterol ratio, but not cholesterol level. John's ratio of 4.0 would qualify him for Transamerica's best rate of $390. Needless to say, it would be better for John to apply with Transamerica, his best company, rather than Americom.

other competitive companies

As we mentioned previously, there are over 150 term life insurance companies in the Term4Sale.com® database. The other thousands of U.S. carriers do not compete in the term insurance market. They sell other (more expensive) policies, which are useful for special situations.

Here is the balance of our top thirty list. (Disclaimer: all information on this page is editorial in nature and represents the opinion of the authors. We welcome input, but we make all final decisions.)
