In modified life policies, the premium remains level throughout the policy's duration, regardless of the policyholder's age or health. This is in contrast to traditional life insurance policies, where premiums typically increase as the policyholder ages.
As per the Life Insurance and Market Research Association (LIMRA), in 2021, traditional whole life insurance premiums increased by an average of 3.8%, while modified life policies premiums remained stable.
