There are a lot of components that go into determining what type of insurance policy you need and how much you’ll pay in premiums to maintain your cover. It can be a highly personalised process, and that can make it tricky to understand why you might be paying a different amount to someone else.
To help you understand what you’re paying and why, we’ve broken it down into three categories: your personal risk factors, the type of insurance you choose and your premium structure.
During the underwriting process, we assess your history and lifestyle against a range of factors to calculate the possibility that certain life events may happen to you. The higher your level of risk for these factors, the higher your premiums are likely to be.
Here are some of the personal risk factors that can influence your premiums:
Your life insurance policy has been designed with a lot of different features that you can pick and choose from, so it fits your lifestyle and needs. Some of these features may increase the cost of your insurance:
Everyone’s financial situation is different. That’s why Resolution Life offers different ways for you to pay your insurance premiums.

Van and Thi, both aged 40, have two children aged 10 and 12. The couple run a small family business and are paying off a mortgage.
Van and Thi both have Death and TPD cover, which will pay them a lump sum if one of them passes away, becomes terminally ill or becomes permanently disabled. However, they’re concerned that if either of them gets temporarily sick or injured, the other person won’t be able to manage the business alone.
After talking to a financial adviser, they decide to take out Income Protection insurance as well. This will provide them with a monthly payment of up to 75% of their income if they were to become sick or injured.
The couple looked carefully at their premium payment options and decided to pay level premiums. This could make it easier for them to plan their budget. While paying level premiums was initially more expensive than another option, they prefer the peace of mind and not having to pay the high premium rates when they are older.
