How Does Life Insurance Work?
A life insurance policy is a contract between you and an insurer. You pay premiums, and if you pass away while the policy is in force, the insurer makes a death benefit available to your named beneficiaries. That benefit can be used to cover everyday living expenses, outstanding debts, mortgage payments, education costs or business obligations, depending on your beneficiaries’ needs. Coverage amounts and premium costs vary based on factors such as age, health, policy type and coverage term.
What Are the Types of Life Insurance?
The two broad categories are term life and permanent life insurance, each suited to different needs and financial situations. Common policies include:
- Term life insurance provides coverage for a set period, typically 10, 20 or 30 years, and is often used to cover income replacement during working years.
- Whole life insurance is a form of permanent coverage that builds cash value over time and remains in force as long as premiums are paid.
- Universal life insurance offers flexible premiums and adjustable death benefits, with a cash value component tied to market or fixed interest rates.
- Final expense insurance is a smaller whole life policy designed to cover end-of-life costs such as funeral and burial expenses.
