The
cost of your Optional Plan depends on the coverage you select,
your age, your smoking status, and your salary. The amount
of coverage you choose and its cost will increase when your
salary increases if your coverage is based on your salary.
Your cost will increase similarly when you move into the
next higher age bracket.
If
you are paid monthly, your premiums will be deducted from
your monthly paycheck; if you are paid bi-weekly, your premiums
will be deducted from your first and second paycheck of
the month.
Your
premiums will be deducted on an after-tax basis.
Calculate
Your Monthly Premiums
Follow these steps below to calculate your monthly premiums
for your Optional Life Insurance Plan:
- Find
your age and smoker status on the chart below. This is
your rate.
For example, if you are 33 and a nonsmoker, your rate
is $0.030.
- a. If
you wish coverage of $5,000 or $50,000,
multiply your rate from Step 1 by 5 or 50.
Example for $50,000 of coverage: $0.030 X 50 = $1.50 (your
monthly cost)
b. If you select a salary-based
option, multiply your annual salary by 1 to 6,
depending the coverage option you choose. Drop the last
three zeros and multiply by your rate from Step 1.
Example: 4 times $20,000 annual salary = 80,000
80 x $0.030 = $2.40 (your monthly cost)
