These are Mutual of Omaha Living Promise Level Benefit examples for Florida using monthly bank draft. They are not market averages, underwriting approvals or guaranteed offers. Eligibility, state availability and final premium must be confirmed.

Why Final Expense Rates Increase With Age
Life-insurance pricing reflects mortality risk. At older issue ages, an insurer generally expects fewer years of premium collection before a claim, so the premium for the same death benefit generally rises. That does not mean there is one fixed percentage increase each birthday.
For $10,000 of non-tobacco Level coverage in this schedule, the female monthly examples rise from $24.31 at 50 to $41.01 at 65 and $98.43 at 80. The male examples are $30.68, $56.48 and $139.73 at those same ages.
The age effect becomes much larger at older issue ages in this particular schedule; it is not a straight-line increase. Other products use different schedules. These comparisons describe the age when a new policy is issued, not an automatic annual increase on a policy already in force.
Rates in Your 40s and 50s
At age 45, the table’s $10,000 examples are $22.61 for a non-tobacco female and $27.11 for a non-tobacco male. At 55, they are $27.71 and $35.95. Younger issue ages can leave more product and underwriting options available, depending on health and product limits. A lower premium is not a reason by itself to buy more coverage than your family needs.
Rates in Your 60s
If you are shopping as you approach or enter retirement, compare the ongoing premium with the budget you expect to have. The $10,000 non-tobacco examples at age 60 are $32.87 female and $43.76 male; at 65, they are $41.01 and $56.48. Health history can change the benefit tier available, so check Level versus Graded before treating either number as your likely offer.
Rates in Your 70s
The $10,000 non-tobacco examples increase from $53.24 female and $74.61 male at 70 to $72.41 and $99.97 at 75. In this schedule, the difference is substantial. Compare what you can sustain with the actual death benefit and any initial natural-death limitations, rather than choosing solely by the coverage amount.
Rates in Your 80s
Product issue-age limits narrow the available options. Living Promise Level currently accepts issue ages through 85, subject to eligibility and state rules. Its $10,000 non-tobacco examples are $98.43 female and $139.73 male at 80, and $135.90 and $192.74 at 85. A smaller, sustainable policy may be more useful than a larger premium you cannot maintain; review existing insurance and savings before deciding.
How Tobacco Can Change Final Expense Rates
Tobacco treatment is product-specific. These age-65 examples illustrate the difference within one current Level Benefit schedule, not a universal smoker surcharge.

| Applicant | Non-Tobacco | Tobacco |

These differences apply to this specific Mutual of Omaha Level Benefit rate structure. Other carriers define tobacco differently and may price occasional cigar, pipe, vaping or nicotine use differently. Answer the current application accurately; see our burial insurance guide for smokers for classification considerations.
The Same Age Does Not Produce the Same Rate at Every Carrier
Below are Living Promise Level examples alongside Larry’s supplied American Amicable Dignity Solutions Florida non-smoker quotes. These selected ages show why it is useful to compare current offers.

| Age | Mutual of Omaha Female | American Amicable Female | Mutual of Omaha Male | American Amicable Male |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 50 | $24.31 | $26.66 | $30.68 | $31.65 |
| 55 | $27.71 | $33.69 | $35.95 | $40.03 |
| 60 | $32.87 | $38.26 | $43.76 | $47.05 |
These are real Anchor Life Florida quote examples for specific products and assumptions, not a claim that Mutual of Omaha is always cheaper than American Amicable. Underwriting, benefit tier, tobacco classification and health history can change which product provides the better offer.
Comparison limit: The retained American Amicable quote figures identify age, sex, Florida, non-smoker status, $10,000 coverage and monthly premium. They do not establish the exact benefit tier or payment method. Confirm those details before treating this as a like-for-like policy comparison. The Mutual of Omaha column assumes Level Benefit and monthly bank draft.
Compare each product’s actual offer for the same applicant. Our final expense company comparison guide explains what to examine beyond price.
The Cheapest Monthly Premium Is Not Enough: Check the Benefit Tier
Rates are meaningful only when you know what coverage the applicant can obtain. A lower or higher premium cannot be evaluated without knowing which benefit tier the applicant actually qualifies for.
Level Benefit
Level coverage generally provides the full stated natural-death benefit from policy inception, subject to policy terms, exclusions and contestability. Current Living Promise Level specifications list ages 45–85, coverage of $2,000–$50,000, and Standard Tobacco and Nontobacco classes. State variations may apply.
Graded or Modified Benefit
These policies may limit the natural-death benefit during an initial period. Products do not all use the same timing or payment formula. Check natural and accidental death provisions separately.
Current Living Promise Graded specifications list ages 45–80, coverage of $2,000–$20,000, and no tobacco distinction. State variations may apply. Our Living Promise rate page includes specifically labeled current Graded quote examples; the Level tables here should not be used to estimate a Graded premium.
What Affects Your Actual Final Expense Rate?
- Applicant: issue age, sex where used by the insurer, tobacco or nicotine classification, health history and underwriting answers.
- Policy: carrier, product, state, benefit tier and coverage amount.
- Payment: payment mode, policy fee and additional premiums for optional riders.
Two quotes should not be compared until these assumptions are aligned. There is no single market-wide rate that applies to a given age. Product and underwriting differences are too important to ignore.
Why Male and Female Rates Differ
Life insurers may use sex as a rating factor where legally permitted. In the verified Florida schedule shown here, male premiums are higher than female premiums for the same age, tobacco class and benefit amount. For example, age-65 non-tobacco $10,000 coverage is $56.48 male versus $41.01 female. That is a product-specific observation, not a universal percentage difference.
Which Age Does the Insurance Company Use?
Carriers define issue age according to their product rules. Current Living Promise specifications use Age Last Birthday. Other products may use a different calculation. If a birthday is close, ask which issue age will be used and whether the rate changes before the policy is issued.
Why $20,000 Does Not Always Cost Twice $10,000
Living Promise Level has a fixed policy fee, so the premium does not scale perfectly with coverage. For a Florida age-65 non-tobacco female using monthly bank draft, $10,000 is $41.01 and $20,000 is $78.82. Twice $41.01 would be $82.02, but doubling the coverage does not mean doubling the fixed-fee component.
The detailed formula and calculator are on our Mutual of Omaha rate chart.
Will Premiums Increase After Purchase?
Living Promise consumer material states that premiums are guaranteed not to increase; required premiums must still be paid to maintain coverage. Many final-expense whole-life policies are designed with level premiums, but the issued contract controls. Verify whether your quoted premium is guaranteed and what payments are required to keep that policy in force.
How Much Final Expense Coverage Should You Compare?
Start with the expenses and cash needs you want to address: funeral, burial or cremation costs, unpaid medical bills, debts and the family’s immediate needs. Then account for savings and existing insurance available for those purposes. The $10,000 and $25,000 amounts in these tables are comparison examples, not recommended amounts for everyone.
Use our coverage-needs guide and funeral-cost guide to build an estimate, then check whether the premium fits your long-term budget.
A Rate Quote Is Not an Underwriting Approval
A preliminary quote or illustration may assume a rating class. Actual eligibility can depend on application answers, medications, diagnoses, treatment, product rules, state and the insurer’s decision. Selecting an age and sex does not establish qualification for the table’s premium.
Health history can affect eligibility, benefit tier, available carrier and final rate. The health-conditions guide can help you prepare for that conversation.
If you already have coverage: Do not cancel existing life insurance solely because a new preliminary quote looks cheaper. Compare the current policy’s guarantees, cash value, benefit structure, contestability period and replacement consequences, and keep existing coverage until the new policy is approved, accepted and in force.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does $10,000 of final expense insurance cost?
There is no single price. In the Florida non-tobacco Living Promise Level examples above, age, sex and eligibility matter. Use the age table as a product-specific starting point, then request a current quote for the benefit tier you qualify for.
How much does final expense insurance cost at age 50?
For $10,000, the September 2026 Florida Living Promise Level non-tobacco examples are $24.31 monthly for a female and $30.68 for a male, using bank draft. These are examples, not guaranteed offers.
What about age 60?
The same $10,000 Florida non-tobacco Level assumptions produce $32.87 female and $43.76 male per month. Other products, benefit tiers and applicant profiles can produce different prices.
What about age 65?
In the verified September 2026 Living Promise Level examples, Florida non-tobacco $10,000 coverage is $41.01 female and $56.48 male per month. Tobacco examples are $56.66 female and $79.83 male. These use monthly bank draft and require Level eligibility.
What about age 70?
At 70, the table shows $53.24 female and $74.61 male for $10,000 of Florida non-tobacco Living Promise Level coverage, monthly bank draft. Compare any actual offer’s premium and initial benefits together.
What about age 75?
The $10,000 Florida non-tobacco Living Promise Level examples are $72.41 female and $99.97 male per month by bank draft. Your state, health history and benefit tier still need review.
What about age 80?
The table shows $98.43 female and $139.73 male monthly for $10,000 of Florida non-tobacco Living Promise Level coverage by bank draft. Issue-age limits and individual eligibility vary by product.
Why do men and women have different rates?
Insurers may use sex in pricing where permitted. This schedule has different male and female rates, but its differences should not be turned into a universal percentage or a claim about every insurer.
How much more do smokers pay?
There is no universal tobacco surcharge. The age-65 tobacco tables above compare the two classifications within Living Promise Level. Another product may define or price tobacco and nicotine use differently.
Do final expense premiums increase after purchase?
Many final-expense whole-life policies have level premiums. Living Promise consumer material states its premiums are guaranteed not to increase. Required payments and the issued policy’s guarantees control; do not confuse older issue-age quotes with increases on an existing policy.
Does a health condition change the rate?
It can affect which carrier, product or benefit tier is available, and therefore the premium. A Level rate table does not predict the outcome for a particular diagnosis or medication history.
What is the difference between Level and Graded coverage?
Level generally provides the full stated natural-death benefit from inception under its terms. Graded or Modified coverage may limit it initially. Check the exact policy’s natural and accidental death provisions, exclusions and contestability terms.
Can I qualify for the rate shown in the table?
The table does not establish eligibility. The current application, health and medication history, state, product rules and carrier decision determine whether the assumed tier is available to you.
Is the cheapest final expense policy always best?
No. Compare the same applicant, coverage amount, benefit structure and payment assumptions, then consider guarantees and affordability. A smaller premium is not an advantage if the coverage does not meet your needs.
