The reason I opted for Max Life was the highest claim settlement ratio and a dedicated claim settlement officer for the family. Along with that, the strong brand coherence among my friend circle and a strong word of recommendation. Honestly, the end to end assistance while applying for the policy, assistance with health check-up and timely updates did hold up to the high expectations and I am glad I went with Max Life.

What is a Term Insurance Premium Calculator?
A term insurance premium calculator is a free online tool that can help calculate the insurance premium amount that you need to pay to get the desired insurance cover amount and policy benefits. A term plan premium calculator takes into account various factors such as the age, current income, marital status, health conditions, lifestyle choices and the number of dependents as key inputs to help you choose a term plan that best fits your needs and life goals.
How Does a Term Insurance Calculator Work?
One of the key factors that a term insurance calculator takes into account is the mortality charge of the person purchasing a term plan. This is based on primarily the age of the insured person at the time of policy purchase. When you purchase a life insurance plan, the insurance company levies a charge to cover the expenses for providing insurance protection upon death of the insured person. This is known as the death benefit of a term plan.
The estimation of mortality charges is done as per the Standard Annual Mortality Charges 1 table, which, in turn, is based on the historical data of life expectancy in India. On the other hand, the mortality rate is defined as an insurer's anticipation of the number of deaths occurring amongst a group of insured individuals, for a certain age.
Typically, mortality rates are low for young, healthier individuals who do not work in a high-risk job profile. Therefore, the term insurance premium rates vary with age and young healthy individuals pay a lower premium. Gender too impacts life insurance premiums. Since women typically live longer than men they tend to have a lower insurance premium compared to males. These and other factors like lifestyle choices such as tobacco use are taken into account by the term insurance calculator in order to generate a premium estimate.
One should keep in mind that user inputs are used to provide the premium estimates so being upfront about factors such as tobacco use and pre-existing health conditions are key to getting better premium estimates by using a term insurance calculator.
Benefits of Using a Term Insurance Premium Calculator
A term insurance premium calculator can help you choose the right life cover amount for you. Ensuring the right cover amount helps you cover your liabilities and your family's financial needs while ensuring that premium payable under the insurance policy is affordable for you. Some key factors that a term insurance calculator used to determine suitable cover amount for you includes your annual income, existing liabilities, marital status, and the number of dependents you have.
Using a term insurance premium calculator, you can opt for the highest possible life cover amount that suits your budget. Given the fact that investing in life insurance is a life-long commitment, you do not want to end up purchasing a term insurance plan that offers sub-par financial protection one that is so expensive that you are unable to sustain the payment of future premiums.
Choose Rider OptionsTerm insurance premium calculator also allows you to estimate the impact that add-ons and riders such as critical illness, accidental death benefit, returns of premium, etc. can have on the total premium amount. This comparison can help you determine which riders and their associated benefits play give you the best value for your money based on your unique needs.
In simple terms, using a term plan calculator helps you opt for a term plan so that you can avail the most comprehensive insurance coverage and plan benefits for the lowest possible premium amount.
How is Your Term Insurance Premium Calculated?
While there are a number of factors that can impact your life insurance premium calculation. Some key factors that typically have the greatest impact include the following:Age of applicant
A higher cover amount leads to higher premium
Gender
Women pay a lower premium that men of the same age
Cover Amount
A higher cover amount leads to higher premium
Policy Term
Life policies that have a longer term have higher premiums
Riders & Add-ons
Each rider features an additional cost that increases overall premium amount
Pre-existing Conditions
Women pay a lower premium that men of the same age
Tobacco Usage
Smokers and other tobacco users are charged a higher premium
Occupation
Individuals with high risk jobs have to pay a higher life insurance premium
“A life insurance premium calculator typically uses the above data to generate an estimate of the premium you would have to pay. However, the final amount payable as premium tends to vary on a case by case basis."Impact of Premium Calculation on Smokers
Smoking can increase your chances of developing life-threatening ailments such as lung cancer and throat cancer. Insurance companies therefore, categorise smokers as high-risk and charge them to pay higher premiums.If you smoke regularly or have been consuming any tobacco product for 12 months before purchasing term insurance, you will be considered a high-risk individual by the insurance company and will have to pay a higher premium amount as compared to non-smokers purchasing a similar life insurance policy.
Why Occupation Impacts Term Insurance Premium Calculation
Your occupation also plays an integral part in determining your term insurance premium amount. Insurer categories some professions as higher risk occupations compared to others, such as defence, aviation, oil, and coal mining.
On the other hand, individuals working in offices with a desk job, IT professionals, shop owners, and teachers are considered to be engaged in relatively low-risk jobs. Generally, people working in safer environments tend to be charged a lower premium than those working in a relatively high-risk work environment.

Rider Options Available
Below is a short list of the key rider options that are available with life insurance plans offered by Max Life Insurance:With this Max Life policy rider, the benefit amount is paid as a lump sum upon diagnosis of any of the 64 specified critical illnesses, including various types of cancer and cardiovascular diseases.
In case you are unable to continue paying the Max life policy premium due to loss of income (because of accidental injury or life-threatening ailments), your future premiums Max term premiums will be waved while the policy benefits will continue as intended.
The rider provides additional coverage to compensate for the loss of income due to temporary or permanent disability/death due to an accident. In case of death the payout is made to the nominee, while in case of the disability, the payout is received by the insured individual.
Add-On Options Available
Apart from the above-mentioned riders there are 3 more add-ons that can enhance the benefits of a vanilla term plan.
With this feature, you can add your spouse in the same plan. The plan will work the same but in a better way. In case your spouse suffers an unfortunate death or gets diagnosed with a terminal illness, their life cover will be paid off to you and your life cover shall continue till the maturity. Likewise, if the life insured meets with the same fate, their life cover shall be paid to the spouse and all future premiums shall be waived off. In addition, the spouse’s life cover will be increased and continued throughout the term.
While there is a dedicated rider for the premiums, i.e. Waiver of Future Premium, there is another feature other than the rider which allows the life insured to get back the premiums paid. This is called as the Return of Premium and the terms plans with this feature are labelled as Term plan with Return or Premium or TROP. With this feature, upon the survival of the life insured, all the premiums are paid back with the maturity amount. If life insured dies, then the beneficiary shall get this amount as the Sum Assured.
The last in the list is the Accident Cover. This feature, if bought at the time of policy purchase, will get activated upon the death of the life insured. 100% of the Accident Cover will be payable in lump sum to the family (or the nominee) in the death benefit.

Why Choosing the Right Sum Assured is Important for the Best Term Insurance
The primary purpose of a life insurance policy is to protect the finances of your loved ones in case of your death. So, choosing adequate sum assured is essential if you plan to provide your dependents with adequate finances in your absence.
The death benefit of a life insurance policy will need to not only ensure that your dependents are able to continue maintaining their lifestyle after you are no longer there but also ensure that any outstanding liabilities you have like a personal loan, car loan or home loan are paid off even if you are no longer able to earn.
Typically, experts suggest that the sum assured of a life insurance policy should be at least 10 times your annual income, while 20 times annual income is preferable. You also need to consider factors such as outstanding liabilities and the number of dependent family members you have before you arrive at final figure when choosing the right sum assured for your policy.
How the Plan Works
When you purchase a term insurance policy, you are eligible to receive death benefits as these life insurance policies do not have maturity/survival benefit. In term plans, death benefit is paid out to the nominee if the insured individual dies while the policy is in effect. The payout is based on the sum assured that is chosen at the time of policy purchase. On payment of death benefit, the policy terminates.
Apart from death benefit, a term insurance plan can also feature other benefits such as lump sum payout after diagnosis of a critical illness or if disability/death occurs as a result of an accident. These benefits are typically provided through riders and policy add-ons that require additional premium payments by the insured individual.
Claim Settlement Process
In order to submit an individual life insurance claim, the nominee named in the life insurance policy has to fill out and submit Individual Death Claim Form A along with key supporting documents to the insurance company. Key documents required when submitting a claim with Max Life Insurance include:- 1Original Policy Document
- 2Original/attested copy of death certificate issued by local municipal authority
- 3NEFT Mandate form attested by bank authorities along with a cancelled cheque/bank account passbook copy
- 4Photo identity of nominee such as copy of Aadhaar card, Voter ID, Passport, PAN card, etc.
- 5Attending physician’s statement (Form C)
- 6Medical records such as admission notes, test reports, death/discharge summary, etc.
In the case of accidental death key documents required for processing claims are as below:
- 7Copy of Panchanama/Police complaint or FIR (First Information Report)
- 8Copy of Autopsy and Viscera Report/Post Mortem Report (PMR)
- 9Copy of Charge Sheet/Final Police Investigation Report (FPIR)
After submission of the required documents and forms, the insurer typically investigates the claim and verifies all the supporting documentation provided. If all the applicable criteria are met, the claim is paid out by the insurance company.
