How much does Long-term Disability Insurance cost?
Average long-term disability insurance rates cost between 1-3% of your annual salary, but the exact cost will depend on a number of factors about the applicant and the policy chosen.
Applicant factors:
-
Age – The older you are, the more expensive your policy.
-
Gender – Women make more disability claims and therefore pay more for policies.
-
Smoking history – Smokers or recent smokers will have more expensive policies.
-
State of residence – Residents of states with a higher number of disability claims will pay more for policies.
-
Occupation class – Depending on elements of your job (including manual duties, travel, and more) you may be classified as having a “riskier” occupation and pay more for your policy
Policy factors:
-
Coverage amount – Higher coverage amounts result in higher premiums.
-
Benefit period – Longer benefit periods result in higher premiums. The most cost-effective benefit period is five years, but full coverage extends to age 65.
-
Waiting period – Longer waiting periods result in lower premiums. The most cost-effective waiting period is 90 days.
-
Built-in policy features – Some features like own occupation coverage may come standard in policies from some carriers and may affect the cost of the policy.
-
Riders – Additional feature that don’t come standard may raise the cost of the policy.
