About MetLife
MetLife is one of the largest life insurance companies in the world, with roots back to 1868. In 2017, MetLife spun off its US retail individual life business to Brighthouse Financial, so today MetLife primarily focuses on employer-based group life insurance and supplemental products (accident, hospital, critical illness) rather than individual whole or term policies.

How much MetLife coverage do Evanston families need?
A common rule-of-thumb is 10–12× annual household income — for Evanston's estimated median household income of $58,488, that's roughly $584,880 in coverage. MetLife's product lineup includes face values that scale to most household needs, but whether their rate for that amount beats the other carriers in the market depends on your specific profile. A licensed Illinois broker will price MetLife against the competition in under 10 minutes.
