Key Differences

Life insurance is a contract between you and an insurance company. In exchange for your premium payments, the life insurance company will pay a lump sum known as a death benefit to your beneficiaries after your death, as long as your policy is in force. consider the following aspects before investing:

  • Cost:  Term life insurance is generally less expensive than permanent life insurance.
  • Policy Length:  Term life insurance has a specific term, while permanent life insurance covers your entire lifetime.
  • Cash Value: Term life insurance does not build cash value, whereas permanent life insurance often does.
  • Guaranteed Death Benefit: Both types of insurance typically offer a guaranteed death benefit, but permanent life insurance may have conditions or limitations.


Choosing the Right Life Insurance


When selecting a life insurance policy, consider factors such as:

  • Financial Strength:  Look for insurance companies with good financial ratings.
  • Customer Satisfaction: Research companies with low customer complaint rates and high satisfaction ratings.
  • Policy Options: Choose a company offering multiple policy types, including term and permanent life insurance.
  • Riders and Add-ons: Consider companies offering optional riders and add-ons to customize your policy.


Main Types of Life Insurance

There are two primary types of life insurance:

  • Term Life Insurance:  Provides coverage for a specified period (e.g., 10, 20, or 30 years). If you pass away during this period, the insurance company pays the death benefit. If you outlive the term, coverage expires, and no payout is made.
  • Permanent Life Insurance (also known as Whole Life Insurance): Offers coverage for your entire lifetime, as long as premium payments are made. These policies often build cash value, which can be accessed under certain conditions.
