How Much Will a Rs 2 Crore Term Insurance Plan Cost in India?

A man earns his entire life for the sake of his loved ones. His family means the world to him. He struggles all day long only to earn bread for the family as long as he can. But what he sometimes fails to realize is who would earn bread for his loved ones when he’s not around? While working to make our present comfortable, it’s equally important to think and plan for the future, especially that of our family. This is where term insurance plays a significant part.

Term insurance plans are essentially pure risk plans which means that they are designed to cover the biggest risk of all, death. In case of an unfortunate and untimely demise of the sole breadwinner for the family, a term insurance plan provides financial coverage for their family’s needs. This ensures that life for the policyholder’s family still moves on without much financial trouble.

Now there are a variety of term life insurance plans available with different insurance companies in the market. You can make your own choice based on your budget and actual requirements. Here we discuss in detail the cost (premium-wise) of a 2 crore term insurance plan to help you make an informed choice for your family’s future.

How Much Would a Term Life Insurance Policy of Rs 2 Crore Cost?

As stated earlier, you may choose to invest in a term insurance plan worth any amount, based on your individual requirements and budget preferences. Of course, the higher the amount of coverage that you opt for, the better it would be to secure your family’s future optimally. However, note that while choosing the coverage amount for your term insurance, there are a number of factors that would need to be taken into consideration.

10 Factors that Help Determine the Term Life Insurance Policy Premium

All of these factors would help determine the premium payable on that plan:

1. The current age of the policyholder (higher the age, lower the sum assured owing to the probability of risk being high)
2. The current income of the policyholder which determines their exact paying potential (whether or not they would be able to pay the premium for a certain high-value plan)
3. The current medical condition of the policyholder and their medical history, if any (to determine the probability of risk involved for the insurer)
4. The gender of the policyholder
5. Any history of hereditary health conditions in the family
6. Any pre-existing illnesses (which again helps the insurer determine the amount of risk involved in the term insurance plan)
7. The current occupation of the policyholder (high-risk jobs are generally insured at lower sum assured)
8. The lifestyle of the policyholder (determining addictions to smoking, drinking, or drugs)
9. The term of the plan chosen
10. The chosen term and frequency for premium payment by the policyholder (monthly, quarterly, six-monthly, annually)

Now, based on a thorough assessment of all these factors taken together, the insurance company would calculate the exact premium amount that the policyholder would need to pay for the term of the policy.

If you wish to know the premium payable prior to buying the term insurance plan with an insurer, you can do so by referring to several online tools available. The online term insurance premium calculator can help compute the exact premium amount that needs to be paid for different term insurance policies of different coverage values.

Just how your insurer would calculate the premium for you after entering all the required details (mentioned above), you can do the same on this online tool and you’d get the premium calculated in a few seconds!

Now, to give you a clearer idea on the exact cost of a 2 crore term insurance plan, we have tried to explain through an example below how much premium would you actually need to pay if you chose to invest in a term insurance policy that promises a high-value coverage of 2 crores for your family after your death.

The values used for the purpose of this example are imaginary (only for your understanding) so we recommend determining the exact cost of the specific plan that you wish to purchase from the insurance company that you intend to buy it from. Your insurer would be able to tell you the exact premium payable for your plan based on an assessment of the various factors, as discussed above. However, this example is only for illustrative purposes, to help you make an educated choice.

• Gender of the policyholder: Male
• Age of the policyholder: 35 years
• Lifestyle habits: Non-smoker
• Term of the plan: 40 years
• Term of premium payment: 40 years
• Frequency of premium payment: Yearly
