The Basics

Term versus permanent life insurance.

Term life insurance provides coverage for a set period, usually 10 to 30 years, at a lower cost, making it a common fit for covering a mortgage or years until kids are grown.

Permanent life insurance, like whole or universal life, covers your entire life and can build cash value over time, at a higher premium than comparable term coverage.

  • Term coverage for a set period at lower cost
  • Permanent coverage that lasts your whole life
  • Death benefit paid to beneficiaries income tax-free in most cases
  • Can be sized to cover a mortgage, income replacement, or final expenses

Common Reasons to Buy

  • • Covering a mortgage
  • • Replacing income for a family
  • • Funding future education costs
  • • Covering final expenses
