Mortgage protection insurance cost calculator
Move the sliders. Get a realistic estimated monthly premium for a simplified-issue mortgage protection policy structured around your mortgage. Mortgage protection isn’t a single product — it’s a framework. Your advisor will pick the right chassis (level term for younger clients, whole life for older clients) during your Critical Time Period Evaluation. This estimator gets you in the right ballpark.

Estimate only, not a quote.Mortgage protection isn’t a single product — it’s a framework. Your advisor will run a Critical Time Period Evaluation, then structure either a higher-face-value term policy or a whole-life policy around your mortgage payment, depending on your age, health, and goals. Most policies we issue are simplified-issue (no medical exam). Final pricing is set at underwriting.
How MPI cost scales with age
Age at policy issue is the single biggest driver of premium. The chart below shows estimated monthly cost for $250,000 of 30-year level mortgage protection insurance for a healthy non-smoker, midpoint of the Preferred-Plus to Standard underwriting classes. Costs roughly double every eight to ten years — locking in a policy in your early thirties typically costs less than half of what the same coverage costs in your late forties.
How this calculator works
The range reflects what our advisors typically see on real simplified-issue mortgage protection applications — the dominant underwriting path for what we issue. Younger clients (under 50, healthy) usually receive a level-term framework; older clients (50+ or with health complications) usually receive a whole-life policy structured around the mortgage payment via our Critical Time Period Evaluation. The calculator estimates a blended typical premium across that mix.
Mortgage protection isn’t a single product — it’s a framework. The numbers here are not idealized fully-underwritten preferred-plus class term-life quotes you might see on aggregator sites, because that’s not the policy most homeowners actually receive. Real-world simplified-issue policies with the living benefits we recommend (accelerated death benefit, disability waiver) settle into the "conservative $60–$80/month for healthy 30s–40s applicants" band. For the full framework explanation, see Mortgage Protection Insurance: How We Structure Coverage.
Methodology in plain English.The age factor uses a log curve calibrated so a 30-year-old non-smoker pays roughly $20/month base per $100,000 of 30-year simplified-issue coverage, doubling every eight years of age. Coverage scales linearly to $250K with a mild volume discount above. Term factor follows a published carrier curve (10-yr ≈ 55% of 30-yr, 20-yr ≈ 82%). Tobacco use roughly doubles the premium. We multiply the base by 0.75 for the low end of the range and 1.55 for the high end — the wider upper bound captures the structured-whole-life path that older clients typically receive.
What this calculator does NOT model: your prescription history (statins and SSRIs alone don’t materially change your class, but heart medication or recent cancer treatment will), your immediate family history of major cancer or cardiovascular disease before age 60, your build (height and weight outside published ranges shifts your class), your occupation (a few categories carry surcharges), and the specific rider mix your advisor chooses. These are factors the actual underwriter and your advisor examine that this estimator skips for simplicity.
Why the range is wide.Two healthy 35-year-old non-smokers can pay materially different premiums depending on which carrier the advisor uses, the structure (level term vs. whole life Critical Time Period), and which rider mix is selected. The range is intended to bracket realistic outcomes, not predict any single carrier’s offer.
