ledger cost

In life insurance, "ledger costs" is an accounting method used to determine the actual cost of a life insurance policy. They are determined by taking gross premiums paid for a policy and subtracting dividends and the cash value of the policy at a specified period of time. The amount remaining is the cost of the policy for that period of time.
