Purpose
Affordable coverage for a
limited amount of time
Coverage for the rest of your life
Monthly payments
Smaller payments during your term, but they could go up if you renew your policy at the end of your term
Higher than term life, but they will not increase as long as the policy remains in effect
Coverage length
You decide—terms are available for periods ranging from 1 to 30 years
As long as you live
Cash value
No
Yes
Choose this policy if:
  • You want a replacement for the income you would earn during your working years
  • You can't afford much per month
  • You want the best balance of a low monthly cost with a high death benefit
  • You're not worried about future investment potential or cash value—you're more worried about essential protection

 
  • You don't want to worry about the cost of renewing a policy if you survive the initial term
  • You have a large amount of cash to invest, such as a closed-out 401(k)
  • You want to be able to access cash value later in life (it functions like a forced savings plan)
