How to Calculate Rates
To calculate your Dependent Life twice a month payroll deduction for a spouse, follow these steps:
- Enter the amount of coverage
- Divide by 1,000 (for the number of units of $1,000)
- Multiply by the rate for the Spouse's age group to get the Dependent Life Insurance total twice a month premium
For example: $100,000 Coverage, Age 37
- Calculate the Units: $100,000 (Amount of Coverage) divided by $1,000 = 100 Units.
- Calculate the Premium: 100 Units x $0.051 (Rate for the Dependent Life Plan 2, Ages 35-39) = $5.10 twice a month
Dependent Life Plan 3: Children
Provides coverage for your Child(ren) for the amount of $10,000 each for $.127 twice a month.
