Singapore’s Term Life Insurance Comparison Table
It is difficult to compare insurance policies between different companies.
To provide greater transparency, we launched this comparison table so that consumers can compare term life insurance policies across insurers in Singapore and make informed decisions when insuring themselves and their loved ones.
There are large price differences between the insurers. This comparison has been updated since November 2015.

We have used the following parameters for these reasons:
S$1 million sum coverage: For those of us who are supporting our families, having S$1 million life coverage to provide for our dependents is not unthinkable. To find out how much you need, use this simple calculator.
Coverage until 70 years old: There comes a time in our life when our dependents (Eg. spouse and children) are no longer dependent on us and our existing assets and savings would be sufficient to provide for them should anything unexpected happen to us. 70 years old is a good estimate for how long we should cover ourselves with life insurance until.
