Term life insurance is often more affordable than permanent life insurance. It also has the advantage of being very flexible. Coverage is for a set number of years and you can change it as needed. It’s a good option to protect your loved ones from a major debt such as a mortgage, or to purchase your first life insurance policy on a limited budget.
Term life insurance is often chosen to cover a key period, such as the term on a personal loan, or to provide a safety net for a dependent until they reach the age of majority. Coverage can be for 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 or 40 years.
The cost of your insurance stays the same for the entire first term. At renewal, it may increase but is guaranteed and known in advance.
Knowing what to expect lets you plan your budget with confidence.
If your needs change one year into your contract, you can switch to a longer term before your policy reaches the five-year marker, with no medical exam required.
Term insurance keeps pace with your life situation. If your needs or budget change, you can switch to permanent or universal life insurance without evidence of insurability.
With the decreasing option, your insured capital decreases over time. As the years go by, your insurance needs may diminish as you finish paying off loans and your children's education. This option is ideal if, for instance, you don't need to leave a large inheritance because you’ve taken care of your financial obligations.
With fixed capital, your insured capital remains the same for the entire duration of your contract. Which means that in the event of your death, your loved ones will receive the initial insurance amount.
