Pick a life insurance policy type
There are two main types of life insurance: term and permanent. Within permanent insurance, the two primary types are whole life insurance and universal life insurance. Term life insurance is usually less expensive with fewer benefits, while permanent life insurance is typically more expensive as it offers more benefits. Here’s a closer look at what these policies cover and how they work:
- Term life insurance: Term life insurance is generally the cheapest kind of life insurance. It provides coverage over a specific term period, usually between 10 and 30 years. If you pass away during the term, your beneficiaries will receive a payout from the insurance company. Once the term is over, the benefits end unless the policy is renewable or convertible, which is offered by many insurers. It is important to note your premium will likely increase if you choose to renew or convert.
- Whole life insurance: Whole life insurance is a type of permanent life insurance that provides lifetime protection as long as you continue to pay the premium, with fixed premiums and cash value. With some whole life policies, policyholders have to pay their premium until they die, and other policies only require a premium for a certain number of years (although these premiums are much higher compared to the lifelong premiums).
