Notes:

Monthly premiums include policy fees and waiver of premium where applicable.
The conditions covered and definitions may vary with insurers.
The minimum premium for NZLife policies is $15.mth. Other suppliers have minimums ranging from $12.50 to $20.00. We suggest you increase or add other benefits to get best value.
Smokers rates are approximately double the above costs. Check on the calculator.
The rates quoted are for the first years premiums based on a standard life risk. Actual rates may vary depending on the assessed risk, and increase in future years, depending on the type of policy purchased, (rate for age or level term - see notes below) and the supplier.
Other sites may offer what may appear to be major discounts, but they are still more expensive than NZLife! If you find a lower price please tell us.
