Cost of Term Life Insurance

The cost for term life insurance is lower because it does not build cash value or have tax benefits like other policies. It can, however, be a great policy for someone that wants life insurance but can’t afford high premiums.

Term life insurance policies cover a specified period of time, usually one to ten years. During this term you will pay a specified premium for your policy.

As with all insurance, there are complexities and loop-holes you need to take into consideration. For example, decreasing, level, and increasing term policies may have different death benefits.

They will also have different terms regarding the ending of the policy. This is where convertible and renewable term policies come in. They can allow you to convert to a new term policy without having to take a medical exam. If you wanted to do this, you would choose a level term convertible life insurance policy. 

Term life insurance may be suitable for the following people:

• People that are on a budget and cannot afford high premiums
• Younger people
• People that are in good health
• People looking to protect their beneficiaries
