Factors that affect insurance premiums: age, health, lifestyle, medical, coverage.

- Age — older applicants generally pay higher premiums.
- Health/medical — current health and medical history (including exams and records) directly affect rates.
- Lifestyle — smoking, alcohol use, risky hobbies/occupation raise premiums.
- Coverage — amount and type of coverage (term vs whole, riders, limits) change the cost.

Not typically affecting premiums:
- Dividends — these are insurer payments on participating policies, not a factor used to set the premium.
- Beneficiaries — who you name does not change the premium.
