What Are SNNuity Rates?
SNNuity rates are the annual premiums you pay for a policy that combines a traditional life insurance contract with a savings component. Midland National uses these rates to determine how much you contribute each year toward both the death benefit and the accumulated cash value.

Factors That Shape Your Rate
- Age and health at underwriting
- Chosen death benefit amount
- Policy term or permanent coverage
- Cash‑value accumulation strategy (e.g., fixed vs. variable)
- Optional riders such as disability or accelerated death benefits
How Midland National Calculates the Rate
Midland National applies actuarial tables to estimate the probability of claims and the expected cash value growth. The premium is then divided into two components: the death benefit portion and the savings (or annuity) portion. The savings portion is what earns interest or investment returns, which are projected using conservative assumptions to keep the policy affordable.
Typical Rate Ranges
| Policy Type | Annual Premium (est.) | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Whole Life (fixed) | $1,200–$2,500 | Higher upfront cost, guaranteed cash value growth |
| Variable Life | $1,500–$3,000 | Premiums vary with investment performance |
Tips to Lower Your Premium
- Choose a lower death benefit if your needs are modest
- Opt for a term policy with a conversion option
- Maintain a healthy lifestyle to improve underwriting scores
- Bundle with other insurance products for discounts
When to Reassess Your Rates
Life changes such as marriage, children, or retirement can alter your coverage needs. Review your policy every few years and consider re‑underwriting if your health status improves, which can lower future premiums.
