Choice Mutual’s ratings are determined by our editorial team. The scoring formula considers consumer experience, policy cost, underwriting criteria, the insurer’s financial strength ratings, and complaint data.
In this article, you’ll see Globe Life insurance rate charts by age to learn how much their coverage costs. Alternatively, you can use a convenient cost calculator we built that shows accurate prices based on your state (rates vary by state).

Globe Life Insurance Rate Charts & Cost Calculator
The rate charts below show the monthly cost of Globe Life coverage for residents in various states, according to their official website. Alternatively, you can view prices in your state by using this handy cost calculator.
It’s important to remember that Globe Life will increase your premium every five years as you enter each new age bracket.
Does Globe Life Insurance Really Cost $1 Per Month?
The $1 per month life insurance offer from Globe Life is a marketing gimmick. $1 is the cost only for the first month of coverage. Your actual price will begin starting in the second month.
How Does Globe Life Insurance Work?
Globe Life sells an increasing premium term life policy that expires on your 80th or 90th birthday. How long the policy lasts depends on which state you live in. Be it 80 or 90, when the policy ends, you’re no longer insured and don’t get any money back.
Globe prices their coverage using a five-year age group system. Everyone in each age bracket pays the same rate. For example, people ages 51-56 all have the same premium.
In addition, your rate will increase as you enter each new age bracket. For example, a 66-year-old female who lives in Nevada will pay $49.58 monthly for a $20,000 policy. On her 71st birthday, she will enter a new age bracket, and her price will automatically jump to $67.81.
To qualify for Globe life insurance, you don’t have to take a medical exam, but you will have to answer health questions. There is no waiting period if approved, meaning you’re fully covered the day you make your first payment.
Because it’s a term policy, it will not accrue cash value like permanent life insurance.
Is Globe Life Insurance Worth Buying?
Globe Life is not ideal for people seeking life insurance to cover funeral costs for two principal reasons.
First, buying term life insurance to cover funeral costs is risky because most seniors live longer than a term policy lasts. If your policy expires before you do, your family will have to come out of their pockets to pay for your end-of-life expenses. That’s why you should seek a permanent whole life final expense policy to ensure you have coverage indefinitely.
The second big issue is that it’s tough to qualify for Globe’s coverage. They decline most seniors with common pre-existing conditions. Even if you wanted to roll the dice and buy a term policy to cover final expenses, there’s a slim chance Globe Life would approve you if you have common health issues among seniors.
As a side note, if you want a term policy for any reason, multiple companies offer lower prices (that don’t increase over time) than Globe Life.
Best Final Expense Insurance Companies
As discussed above, Globe Life is not ideal for seniors who need burial insurance. Below are five of the top no-exam final expense insurance companies offering lifetime coverage with prices that will never increase.
Mutual of Omaha
Choice Mutual’s ratings are determined by our editorial team. The scoring formula considers consumer experience, policy cost, underwriting criteria, the insurer’s financial strength ratings, and complaint data.
AM Best’s Financial Strength Rating (FSR) is an independent opinion of an insurer’s financial strength and ability to meet its ongoing insurance policy and contract obligations. The scores range from A++ to D-.
The BBB rating is based on information BBB is able to obtain about the business, including complaints received from the public. BBB seeks and uses information directly from businesses and from public data sources. BBB assigns ratings from A+ (highest) to F (lowest). If a business has been accredited by the BBB, it means BBB has determined that the business meets accreditation standards, which include a commitment to make a good faith effort to resolve any consumer complaints.
The Complaint Index compares a company’s performance to other companies in the market. The National Complaint Index is always 1.00. That means a company with a complaint index of 2.00 is twice as high as expected in the market. Reported scores are for the most recently available year and for “Individual Life” products.
