Good News: Women Pay 15-25% Less for Life Insurance
Because women have longer life expectancies, insurance carriers charge lower premiums. A $500,000 policy that costs a 35-year-old man $28/month might only cost a woman $22/month. And remember — the price is identical whether you buy direct or through us. We just compare more options.

Questions Women Ask About Life Insurance
Why do women need their own life insurance?
Women are often the primary caregivers, household managers, and increasingly the primary or co-breadwinners. If something happened to you, your family would need to replace not just your income, but the countless hours of unpaid labor you provide — childcare, cooking, cleaning, scheduling, and emotional support.
Is life insurance cheaper for women?
Yes. Women generally pay 15-25% less than men for the same coverage because women have longer life expectancies. A healthy 35-year-old woman might pay $22/month for a $500,000 20-year term policy, compared to $28/month for a man of the same age.
How much life insurance do women need?
The same formula applies: 10-12x your annual income, plus mortgage, debts, and future expenses like children's education. For stay-at-home moms, coverage should reflect the $40,000-60,000+ annual value of your household contributions.
Should stay-at-home moms get life insurance?
Absolutely. A stay-at-home mom's contributions — childcare, cooking, cleaning, transportation, tutoring — are worth $40,000-60,000+ per year. If she were gone, the surviving spouse would need to pay for all of these services. A $250K-500K policy is typically recommended.
What about life insurance during pregnancy?
You can absolutely get life insurance while pregnant. In fact, it's one of the best times to apply because it forces you to think about your family's financial future. Some carriers may have specific guidelines for high-risk pregnancies, but most standard pregnancies don't affect rates.
Do single women without children need life insurance?
It depends. If anyone depends on your income (aging parents, siblings), or if you have debts that would burden your family, life insurance is important. Even without dependents, locking in a policy while you're young and healthy guarantees the lowest rates for when your situation changes.
