Term life
Protection for the years your family counts on you.
Term life pays a set amount to the people you name if you pass away during the term you choose. It is the most affordable way to protect an income, a mortgage or a young family, and a strategist compares the options for you.
What term life does and does not do
What term life does
- A set amount for a set term. You choose the coverage and the length, commonly 10, 20 or 30 years.
- Level premiums. On most level term policies the premium stays the same for the whole term.
- Paid to the people you name. The death benefit generally reaches your beneficiaries free of income tax.
What it does not do
- No cash value. Term life is protection only. There is nothing to borrow against or cash out.
- It ends. When the term is over, coverage stops unless you renew, usually at a much higher price, or convert it.
- The price depends on you. Age, health and tobacco use set the premium, so applying younger and healthier costs less.

Term or permanent
Which one fits the need?
Many families use both: term for the years with the biggest need, permanent coverage for what should last a lifetime.
Term life
- Lowest cost for the most coverage.
- Fits a need with an end date: the mortgage, children at home, your working years.
- No cash value, so every dollar of premium goes to protection.
Permanent coverage
- Lasts for life as long as the policy stays in force.
- Builds cash value you can use later, with indexed universal life or whole life.
- Costs more per dollar of coverage, and fits lifelong needs and long-term planning.
