Understanding the basics of life insurance protection
Life insurance is a contract between you and an insurance company where you pay premiums in exchange for a death benefit that protects your family's financial future. It's one of the most important financial tools for ensuring your loved ones are taken care of when you're no longer there to provide for them.
Why Life Insurance Matters
Important: The younger and healthier you are when you apply, the lower your premiums will be. Don't wait until you need it—by then, it may be too expensive or you may not qualify.
Common Questions About Life Insurance
Get answers to the most frequently asked questions
Who needs life insurance?
Anyone with financial dependents—such as a spouse, children, or aging parents—needs life insurance. It's especially critical if you're the primary income earner, have debts like a mortgage, or want to leave a financial legacy.
How much life insurance do I need?
A common rule of thumb is 10-12 times your annual income. However, the right amount depends on your debts, income replacement needs, future expenses (like college), and final expenses. Our calculator can help determine your specific needs.
What's the difference between term and permanent insurance?
Term insurance provides coverage for a specific period (10, 20, or 30 years) at lower premiums. Permanent insurance (whole life, universal life, IUL) lasts your entire life and builds cash value but costs more. Each serves different financial goals.
When is the best time to buy life insurance?
The best time is now—while you're young and healthy. Premiums increase with age and health issues can make coverage more expensive or unavailable. Every year you wait, it costs more.
