Term vs. Permanent Life Insurance


Understanding Your Options

One of the first questions people have is: What type of life insurance do I need?


While specific products and availability vary, life insurance generally falls into two broad categories.


Term Life Insurance

Term life insurance provides coverage for a specified period, such as 10, 20, or 30 years. It can be an option for people looking to protect their family during certain high-responsibility years, such as while raising children or paying a mortgage.


Permanent Life Insurance

Permanent life insurance is designed to provide coverage for life as long as applicable policy requirements are met. Certain permanent policies may also accumulate cash value over time.


Not sure which makes sense for you? That’s exactly what our agents are here to help you understand.

FAQ's

  • Who needs life insurance?

    Life insurance may be worth considering if someone depends on you financially, you have debts another person could inherit or need to manage, or you want to provide financial resources for loved ones after your death.

  • How much life insurance should I have?

    The appropriate amount depends on your income, debts, family responsibilities, existing assets, future goals, and other factors. Rather than relying on a generic number, consider your family's actual financial needs.

  • What's the difference between term and whole life insurance?

    Term insurance generally covers a specified period. Whole life is a type of permanent life insurance designed to remain in force for life when policy requirements are met and may include a cash value component. Costs and features differ significantly between policy types.

  • Is life insurance expensive?

    Life insurance premiums vary based on factors such as age, health, coverage amount, policy type, term length, and underwriting. The best way to determine your actual cost is to request a personalized quote.

  • When is the best time to buy life insurance?

    Life insurance often becomes more expensive as you get older, and health changes can affect eligibility and premiums. Many people first consider coverage when they marry, have children, purchase a home, or take on other significant financial responsibilities.

  • Can I have more than one life insurance policy?

    Yes. Some people carry multiple policies to address different financial needs or periods of life, subject to underwriting and insurer requirements.
