Life insurance is intended to replace your income should you be unable to work. Your regular household expenses should be covered, and your family's upkeep needs to be taken into account. How well you wish to live in the event of unforeseen circumstances is a personal choice, but 5-10 times the value of your yearly income is usually recommended.

 

It is always worth discussing your requirements with a financial advisor to better understand financial planning, and of course you may call one of our agents who will be happy to discuss the issue.

Level (or 'guaranteed') policies are plans where the premium remains the same for the duration of the term. For example, a 30 year level, or guaranteed, term would remain the same for the entire 30 years, irrespective of inflation and other such factors, provided the premium payments are met.

 

The amount of coverage that you receive would also remain level, irrespective of wage increases and inflation, so this is something to take into account when purchasing a plan.

People decide on term length according to several factors, but it often comes down to their beneficiaries. Sometimes people wish their partners to be covered right up to their retirement. When it is children that are the main consideration, people may wish them to be covered to when they graduate from college.

 

Another consideration is the amount of time left on your home's mortgage. If you wish your home to be secured, your life insurance's term should be at least the same amount of years as the remainder of your mortgage repayments.

The necessity for Term Life Insurance is the same for spouses who earn income as it is for you. You manage your payments equally, and therefore they need to secure their income, should the unforeseen occur. If your spouse doesn't work, there are still often losses of income, should they pass away.

 

Childcare, missed working hours and final expenses are just some examples of how losing a partner can leave you in the red. It is often recommended that a non-working spouse should have half the amount of Term Life coverage as the main household earner.

Term Life Insurance is just that: Insurance that covers you for a pre-specified term, usually starting at ten years and rising in five-year increments to thirty years. This type of insurance is less expensive, as the insurer's coverage is limited.

 

Whole Life Insurance lasts for as long as premium payments are met, right up to the death of the insured. These policies have an investment product that can be borrowed against according to its cash value. This is far more expensive (and less popular) than its Term Life counterpart.
