What is Term Life Insurance?

Frequently Asked Questions

Term life insurance provides financial protection for a specific period (term), typically 10-30 years. If you pass away during the term, your beneficiaries receive a death benefit to help cover expenses like mortgage payments, education costs, and daily living expenses.
The amount of coverage you need depends on your financial obligations, income, debts, and family needs. A common rule of thumb is 10-12 times your annual income. Consider your mortgage, education costs, outstanding debts, and future living expenses for your family.
When your term ends, you typically have several options: renew your policy (usually at a higher premium), convert it to a permanent policy, or let it expire. Some policies offer guaranteed renewal options regardless of your health status at that time.
Yes, you can cancel your term life insurance policy at any time. However, term life insurance typically doesn't build cash value, so you won't receive a refund of premiums paid. Make sure you have alternative coverage in place before canceling if you still need protection.
Premiums are based on several factors including your age, health status, lifestyle habits (like smoking), coverage amount, and term length. Younger, healthier individuals typically pay lower premiums. The premiums remain fixed throughout your term, providing predictable costs.
