How to Calculate Rates

To calculate your per pay period payroll deduction, follow these steps: 

  1. Enter the amount of coverage
  2. Divide by 1,000 (for the number of units of $1,000)
  3. Multiply by the rate for the Employee's age group to get the twice-a-month payroll deduction Employee Life Insurance total premium.
  4. Multiply the total premium by the employee cost share of 50%
EXAMPLE: Bi-Monthly Employee, $100,000 Coverage, Age 46 
  1. Calculate the Units: $100,000 (Amount of Coverage) divided by $1,000 = 100 Units.
  2. Calculate the Premium: 100 Units x $0.0845 (Rate for Age Band 45-49/bi-monthly employee) = $8.45
  3. Calculate the Employee Cost Share: $8.45 x 50% = $4.23 twice-a-month.

EXAMPLE: Food Services C-Schedule, $100,000 coverage, Age 46
