Comparing Term and Whole Life Insurance Costs

Life Insurance Policy DocumentsInvesting in life insurance is a smart decision for many people. If you want to get coverage, there are a few things you should consider about these policies. They do have significant cost differences in many cases. Yet, many can be affordable ways to plan for the future. Luckily, your agent can help you compare specific breakdowns for your needs. If you want to get coverage, there are a few things you should consider about these policies. They do have significant cost differences in many cases. Yet, many can be affordable ways to plan for the future. Here's a breakdown.

How Much Is Life Insurance?

The cost of life insurance depends on many factors. The type of policy, whether whole- or term-life, will usually come first. Your age, health, and coverage needs might manipulate costs as well. You may pay more in 10 years than you could pay now.

The only way to determine the actual cost of life insurance is to get a quote for both forms from your agent. This allows you to gain insight into what you, personally, can expect.

Term Life Insurance Costs

Term life insurance is usually less expensive than whole insurance of similar coverage. It covers just a specific amount of time. You pay a set amount of money for that term. You can renew after the term expires, but costs can rise at that point. Term life insurance also only pays a set dollar amount if you die while the policy is in place. The more you purchase, the higher the cost, of course.

Whole Life Insurance Costs

The cost of whole-life insurance is generally higher because the policy remains in place long term. As long as you keep paying the premiums on it, the policy stays active. Whole-life insurance offers several features, though, that make it a bit more expensive. Nevertheless, these perks might be worth the cost.

For example, depending on the type of plan you select, you may be able to borrow from it throughout your lifetime. This creates a low-cost loan for your needs. Some forms pay you back as an investment. As the underlying investments grow, you receive compensation.

Because of these unique features, most people should consider both policy options carefully. It is important not to assume you cannot afford one or the other. Many people will be able to find options that fit their budget. Costs for life insurance can change over time as well. Be sure to work with your agent to know what to expect if you wait to purchase coverage. Most often, buying sooner costs less in the long term.

A personalized quote for life insurance is the first step. Work with your agent to learn what your needs are. Then, create a policy that works to cover those risks.
