A life insurance premium is the amount of money that is paid, on a periodic basis, to an insurance compasny in return for insurance coverage on a person's life. Provided that premiums are paid as and when due, the insurer is obligated to pay to the beneficiary(ies) the face amount of the policy. The amount of premium payable is determined primarily by the amount of life insurance purchased and the risk factors (age, medical history, etc) of the person to be insured under the policy.
