What is life insurance?
What is life insurance?
Life insurance is a tax-free lump sum of money that people leave behind to ensure their debt and final expenses do not burden their loved ones. It also makes it easier for their family to focus on recovering emotionally and not financially.
There are different life insurance options, but the concept is the same for all of them. You pay a set premium to an insurance company and if you die while your policy is active, the insurance company will payout the predetermined funds to your beneficiaries.
*Beneficiaries: The people or organizations you choose to receive your life insurance money.

Not sure how much term life insurance you need?

Difference between whole and term life insurance
Difference between whole and term life insurance
There are two main types of life insurance: term life insurance and whole life insurance. The key differences:
- The length of coverage,
- The price you will pay, and
- The benefits the policy provides.
Term life insurance is coverage designed to last a specific period of time to protect your loved ones from financial struggle should you die unexpectedly. Term periods range from 10 to 40 years depending on your age when you apply. Whole life insurance is more expensive, but coverage is forever. It can also accrue cash value and even pay dividends. There are some situations when whole life is more beneficial than term, but most families only need term life insurance.
How long do you need term life insurance?
The length of your term life insurance coverage should be based on the unique needs of your family as well as your long-term financial goals. You can choose a term length between 10 and 40 years, however, options may vary depending on your age and health.
You also have the option of having multiple term life insurance policies. This is an easy and affordable way to make sure you have the appropriate amount of coverage as your debt shrinks and your net worth grows.
If you aren’t sure how long of a term you should buy, feel free to call, email, or live chat with a Quotacy advisor for assistance.

Here are some examples of instances where different terms may make sense:
10-Year Term
- If your children will enter college in a few years and you want to protect them from having to take on student loan debt if you pass away.
- If you have debt but expect it to be completely paid off within a few years.
- If you are a few years from retirement and you want to provide security for your partner’s retirement years.
20-Year Term
- If you’re a young family and wish to safeguard your children’s financial future until they become independent.
- If you have long-term debt that you don’t wish your family to become responsible for.
30-Year Term
- If you don’t yet have children but plan to.
- If you plan to pay off a newer mortgage should you pass away.
- If you want to leave funds to pay for your young grandchildren’s college education.
40-Year Term
- If you’re young and want coverage to last until you’re in your retirement years.
- If you’ve been thinking about permanent life insurance but it’s out of your budget.
- If you have debt that may take a while to pay off and don’t want to leave any behind to your family.
When do I need whole life insurance?
Most families only need term life insurance, however, there are certain situations that are benefited by whole life insurance.
Consider whole life insurance if you:
- Own a business
- Have a large estate
- Need to equalize an inheritance without selling a family business
- Want to leave a guaranteed inheritance to your loved ones
- Need to provide long-term care for someone with special needs or a disability
Features of whole life insurance:
- Fixed premiums
- Lasts your entire lifetime as long as premiums are paid
- Savings component that allows you to build tax-deferred cash value
- You can borrow against the cash value or withdraw from it
- May pay dividends
- Option to surrender the policy for its cash value
Whole life insurance policies are about 10-15 times more expensive than comparable term life insurance policies. If you need whole life insurance, a more budget-friendly strategy is to buy a small whole life insurance policy to supplement a term life insurance policy.
Example of owning both whole life and term life insurance
Buy a term life insurance policy with a large enough coverage amount and long enough term to protect your loved ones from all the big-ticket financial obligations such as the mortgage, loans, the costs of raising children, and college tuition. Then purchase a small amount of whole life insurance just to provide funds for your end- of-life expenses.
Example:
John Smith is 35 years old. He’s married and has three children between the ages of two and ten years old.
He purchases a 30-year $750,000 term life insurance policy at $53 per month to financially protect his family should he die unexpectedly any time within the next 30 years and his income disappears.
He also purchases a $50,000 whole life insurance policy at $65 per month so he can leave behind money for his funeral and final expenses no matter when he dies.

Term life insurance is the most affordable way to protect your family’s financial future. Check out our life insurance buyer’s guide for a review of your life insurance options and finding the best life insurance policy for you.
