To calculate your monthly cost, divide the amount of coverage by 1,000, then multiply the answer by the sum of the Supplemental Life and Supplemental AD&D costs. These costs are listed in the table above. For example, if you’re 41 and requesting $120,000 in coverage:

  • Supplemental Life: $120,000 ÷ 1,000 = $120; $120 x $0.052 = $6.24 per month.
  • Supplemental AD&D: $100,000 ÷ 1,000 = $100; $100 x $0.014 = $1.40 per month.

*The life insurance benefit for you and your spouse will be reduced by 50% on or after the date you or your spouse attain age 80.

Coverage for eligible dependent children is $0.66 per month for $5,000 of coverage, or $1.32 per month for $10,000 of coverage, regardless of the number of children covered.
