A “ Mild Substandard” life insurance classification is generally applied to an applicant who is said to be in good health, perhaps with one mild health condition.

How to Get a Quote

To get a quote at Mild Substandard, simply use our quote form on the right and select “Standard” from the Health Class dropdown menu, and add 50% to the quotes shown, like this:

Now Multiply that Premium by 1.5

When you complete our quote form, quotes will be displayed for the “Standard” rating immediately.  You can expect your premium to be approximately 50% higher than the “Standard” premium quoted.

You can calculate this by multiplying the premium by 1.5.

For example:

“Standard” Premium      —>         “Mild Substandard” Premium

$100 per month                —>         $150 per month

$200 per month                —>        $300 per month

$300 per month                —>         $450 per month

Will it Be Exactly 50% More?

Probably.

Please note substandard ratings are officially labeled as “table ratings” by life insurance carriers.  So if you get approved at a mildy substandard rating, the insurance company might actually call it Table B or Table 2.

Most companies charge 25% per table below the standard rating.  It’s possible you could get a Table 1 or Table A rating, which would only cost 25% more than the standard rating, but the most common rating after standard is Table 2, which is why we show a 50% addition.
