What is Term Life Insurance?
Term Life Insurance is a type of life insurance policy that provides coverage for a specified period, known as the “term.” Unlike whole life insurance or universal life insurance, which provide coverage for the policyholder’s entire life, term life insurance offers protection for a predetermined number of years, typically ranging from 10 to 30 years. If the policyholder passes away during the term, the insurance company pays a death benefit to the beneficiaries.
How Does It Work?
Policy Duration
Term Life Insurance provides coverage for a specific period, known as the "term," which is chosen by the policyholder (e.g., 10, 20, or 30 years). If the policyholder passes away during the term, the insurance company pays a death benefit to the beneficiaries.
Fixed Premiums
Policyholders pay fixed premiums for the duration of the term. These premiums remain constant and do not change, providing predictability in budgeting.
Death Benefit
The primary purpose of Term Life Insurance is to provide a death benefit to the beneficiaries if the policyholder passes away during the term. This benefit is typically paid out as a lump sum and is generally tax-free.
