What Are Life Insurance Fees?
- 10968 POINTSview profileTim WilhoitOwner, Your Friend 4 Life, Brentwood TNLife insurance fees are essentially administrative fees charged by life insurance carriers to offset expenses. These fees cover their underwriting costs and actuarial costs of issuing the coverage. They are usually charged in the premiums and average between $1.00 to $7.00 per month depending on the company. This is a very common practice among insurance companies.Answered on March 30, 2014flag this answer

Some of those fees are applied to pay the agent for the commission they are paid, some are for administrative costs, and some are to help ensure that the company makes it's profit. Riders, or extra perks added to your policy will inevitably increase the cost of those fees, so be aware. I hope that helps, thanks for asking!Answered on July 3, 2014flag this answer
