Employee-paid LTD premiums

Employee-paid LTD premiums are based on:

1. What type of employee you are.
2. Which coverage level you select.
3. How much you earn.

To find your premium, use the premium calculator on The Standard's website. 

These rates are based on the employee's age on January 1 of each year.
