Common questions about term life insurance
Term life insurance policies provide coverage for a set period of time, i.e., 20 years. The death benefit is paid only if the insured dies during that timeframe. Term life is often less expensive than other life insurance policies but offers no cash value.
Term life insurance works by providing a fixed death benefit if the insured dies during the policy period, typically 10-40 years. The limited timeframe for payout makes term life less expensive than permanent life insurance.
While term life policies provide coverage for a limited timeframe, i.e., 20 years, whole life policies feature a guaranteed lifetime death benefit (when required premiums are maintained) and can build cash value that can be borrowed against. These additional whole life benefits make it more expensive than term life.
The amount of term life insurance needed varies by individual and often includes funding to replace income, pay off a mortgage and other debts, and/or cover specific expenses, like a child's education. Here's a tool to help with that calculation.
