All things being equal, insurance rates for women are much less than they are for men.

The reason for this is the average woman in Canada lives to age 82, while the average man lives to age 77, according to Statistics Canada.

Other variables, beyond age, that impact price include, the applicant's health, smoking status and lifestyle or occupation risks.

The chart below indicates the difference between insurance rates for men and women under a variety of plans from the leading insurance companies in Canada (plan definitions follow the chart):

40-year-old male, non-smoker @ $500,000

Equitable Life:          $35.55/month - Term 10 @ $500,000

                                $52.55/month - Term 20 @ $500,000

Industrial Alliance: $114.75/month - Term 30 @ $500,000

Assumption Life: $230/month - Universal Life Term 100 @ $500,000

Manulife:    $391.84/month - 20 pay insurance @ $500,000

 

40-year-old female, non-smoker @ $500,000

Equitable Life:        $25.65/month - Term 10 @ $500,000

                              $43.55/month - Term 20 @ $500,000

Industrial Alliance: $83.20/month - Term 30 @ $500,000

BMO Insurance: $182.83/month-Universal Life Term 100 @ $500,000

Manulife:            $323.86 - 20 pay insurance @ $500,000

 

Term 10 premiums are level for ten years

Term 20 premiums are level for twenty years

Term 30 premiums are level for thirty years

Universal Life Term 100 premiums are level and payable for life

20 pay insurance premiums are level and payable after 20 years. The insured is then covered for his/her lifetime with no further payments.
