Supplemental Life
Premium Calculation Example

Determine Coverage Amount:
Round base annual earnings up to the next $1,000.
Multiply by 1x, 2x or 3x.
Divide by $1000.
Multiply by age-based rate.

Example: 
Age = 53
Base annual earnings = $99,800
Rounded up to the next $1,000 = $100,000
Multiply by 2x = $200,000

Divide by $1000 = $200
Multiply by premium rate $.198 = $39.60 per month
Multiply by 12 months = $475.20 per year
Divide by 26 pay periods = $18.28 per pay period

 

Determine Coverage Amount:
Determine coverage option (increments of $5,000)
Divide by $1,000

Multiply by age-based rate

Example:
Age = 53
Coverage option: $100,000

Divide by $1,000 = $100
Multiply by premium rate $.520 = $52.00 per month
Multiply by 12 months = $624.00 per year
Divide by 26 pay periods = $24.00 per pay period
