How much does group life insurance cost for a Nevada small business?

Group life insurance for Nevada small businesses is typically priced on a per-$1,000 of coverage basis, applied to the group's aggregate coverage and adjusted for the employee pool's demographics. Costs are very manageable for most small employers.

Typical pricing: employer-paid group term life insurance typically costs between $0.15 and $0.50 per $1,000 of coverage per employee per month, depending on the age distribution of the employee pool (illustrative; actual rates vary by carrier, group size, and demographics). A group of 10 employees averaging $50,000 in salary with 1x salary coverage would cost roughly $75–$250/month total (illustrative).

Minimum group size: most carriers require at least 3–5 enrolled employees to issue a group policy. Very small businesses (1–2 employees) typically need to use individual policies or access group coverage through a PEO.

Age-weighted pricing: groups with older average ages cost more than groups with younger average ages. Adding employees or experiencing turnover can shift the group's cost profile.

Employee contributions: some small business plans have employees pay a portion of the premium (particularly for supplemental coverage above a base employer-paid amount). This can reduce the employer's net cost.
