    Life 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.

    That is a great question! Insurance policies all carry some amount of fee built into the cost of your premium. 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!
