The costs associated with a life insurance policy are hard to determine simply because of the many factors associated with each and every policy out there. From there, you will need to determine how much life insurance you will need. In all likelihood the greater the number of your dependents the larger the policy coverage you’ll want to purchase, which ultimately means an increase in the premiums.

You will also need to determine how much you can afford to pay towards the premiums every month. Get a general idea of the premium costs, for a given amount of coverage, then go from there. You will have a lot of questions: How much does term life insurance cost? How much does mortgage life insurance cost? Keep it simple at first and focus on basic life insurance. A term life insurance policy is most likely the cheapest policy available to you. A quick call to an insurance agent will probably reveal that you can get coverage for something in the neighborhood of $500 a year for 10 years for a $500,000 policy so it is actually not too expensive when you look at it this way. Do you think that roughly $45.00 a month worth of premiums is too much to make sure that after 10 years your family will have $500,000 available to them in the event of your untimely death?

This of course does not mean that in the event that you have an extra $100 a month to spend that you should get a million dollar policy, but rather just make sure that you have enough to cover your family and spouse in the event that they lose you. The last thing anyone wants is for their children to not be able to go to college because you left them too early and your spouse became an single parent.

Making sure that your family is taken care of is not just something that needs to be dealt with in life, but also after one’s death you still have that responsibility for the simple fact that the costs incurred in association with your death could potentially be a huge burden to your family.

So when asking, “How much does life insurance cost per month?” you should be asking yourself how long can your family survive without you in the event that something happens to you. When you break it down though, a good life insurance policy can be had for less than two dollars a day, and since that is not that much money to begin with, isn’t it great knowing that the money would be best saved and placed into a life insurance policy that will make sure your family is taken care of in the event that something happens to you?
