If you are wondering about the cost of coverage for different amounts, you can see the rates listed in the table. For instance, if you are looking for coverage of $50,000 or $500,000, the rates are $14 and $65, respectively.
Moving on to the differences between 20-year and 30-year term policies for the selected coverage amounts, we can observe that the 30-year term policy rates are generally lower than the 20-year term policy rates. For instance, for $50,000 coverage, the 20-year term rate is $14 while the 30-year term rate is $12 – this represents a saving of $2 over the long run.
Finally, let’s talk about how the cost per dollar of coverage varies across different coverage amounts and term lengths. Generally speaking, the cost per dollar of coverage decreases as the coverage amount increases. In other words, you get more value per dollar spent when the coverage amount is higher. Furthermore, the longer the term length, the higher the cost per dollar of coverage. For instance, if you were to choose coverage of $100,000, the 20-year term rate is $22 which translates to a cost per dollar of coverage of 0.22. Meanwhile, if you opt for the 30-year term policy, the rate is $19 which represents a cost per dollar of coverage of 0.19.

Firstly, let’s take a look at the coverage amounts and rates. Males smokers who are 19 years old can choose from a range of coverage amounts starting from $25,000 and going up to $1,000,000. For example, choosing the coverage amounts of $50,000 and $300,000 would result in rates of $26 and $109 respectively for a 20-year term policy. For a 30-year term policy, the rates would be $24 and $101, respectively.
The next point to discuss is the difference in rates between a 20-year and a 30-year term policy. It is worth noting that the rates for a 30-year term policy are generally slightly lower than a 20-year term policy for the same coverage amount. For example, in the case of $50,000 coverage, the difference in rates between a 20-year and a 30-year term policy is $2. Similarly, for $300,000 coverage, the difference in rates is $8.
Finally, let’s talk about how the cost per dollar of coverage varies across coverage amounts and term lengths. As expected, the cost per dollar of coverage decreases as the coverage amount increases. For instance, the cost per dollar of coverage for a $25,000 policy is $1.60, whereas for a $1,000,000 policy, it is $0.31. Furthermore, the cost per dollar of coverage is generally lower for a 30-year term policy compared to a 20-year term policy for the same coverage amount. This could be due to the longer duration of the policy resulting in a lower perceived risk for the insurer.

If you’re a 19-year-old woman who doesn’t smoke and you’re looking to purchase a return of premium term life insurance policy, the above table will be useful to you.
The premiums for policies with a 20-year term and a 30-year term are mentioned in the table for various coverage amounts. The rates are the same for both 20- and 30-year term policies for each coverage amount. For instance, a $25,000 policy for a 19-year-old woman who does not smoke has a rate of $8. This remains steady regardless of whether it is a 20- or 30-year policy. A $50,000 return of premium term policy has a rate of $10, $75,000 has a rate of $12, and $100,000 has a rate of $14 that are the same for both terms.
The difference in rates between a 20-year and a 30-year term policy for each chosen coverage amount is zero. So, if you choose a $50,000 policy, the rate for 20-year and 30-year policies will both be $10.
There is a difference, therefore, in the cost per dollar of coverage across coverage amounts and term lengths. For example, a 20-year policy for $25,000 has a rate of $0.00032 per dollar of coverage. In comparison, a 20-year policy for $1,000,000 has a rate of $0.000068 per dollar of coverage, which is a substantial reduction in cost.
