Insuranceopedia Explains Aggregate Mortality Table

Life insurance companies use mortality tables to help them figure out a suitable price for their premiums. If premiums are priced too low, insurers risk losing money paying out too many death benefits. If, however, they are priced too high, then insurers can lose money by failing to sell enough policies. Advanced mathematics and mortality tables are used to determine the optimal premium prices.
