What Influences Whole Life Premiums
Whole life premiums depend on age, gender, health, and the sum assured. Younger, healthy applicants typically pay between £20 and £50 per month for a £300,000 policy. Older or high‑risk applicants may face £150‑£250 monthly.

Age Brackets and Typical Rates
Below 30 years: £20–£40/month. 30–40 years: £30–£70/month. 40–50 years: £50–£120/month. 50–60 years: £80–£200/month. 60+ years: £120–£250/month.
Health and Lifestyle Impact
Non‑smokers, regular exercise, and no chronic conditions lower rates by 10–30%. Smokers, weight above 30 kg/m², or existing conditions can increase premiums by up to 50% or more.
Sum Assured and Policy Duration
Higher coverage raises the monthly cost proportionally. A £200,000 policy is cheaper than a £500,000 one, but the lifetime benefit grows with the sum assured.
