Term Life Insurance
Affordable protection for the years that matter most.
Term life provides a death benefit for a set period — often 10, 20, or 30 years — at the lowest initial cost of any life insurance.
Overview
Maximum coverage, minimum cost.
Term life insurance covers you for a specific period of time. If you pass away during the term, your beneficiaries receive the death benefit. If the term ends while you are living, the coverage simply expires.
Because it provides pure protection with no cash value, term life offers the most coverage per premium dollar — making it a common choice for income replacement during working years.
Many policies include an option to convert to permanent coverage later without new health questions, though conversion deadlines and options vary by contract.
Key Features
How term life insurance works.
01
Fixed Term
Coverage lasts for a chosen period — commonly 10, 20, or 30 years — with level premiums during that time.
02
Income Replacement
Often used to replace income during the years a family depends on it most, such as while children are young or a mortgage is outstanding.
03
Lowest Initial Cost
Term premiums are significantly lower than permanent insurance for the same death benefit at the same age.
04
No Cash Value
Term policies do not build cash value; the premium pays for protection only.
05
Conversion Options
Many policies allow conversion to permanent insurance within a set window, without new underwriting.
06
Renewal Costs
Renewing after the term ends is usually possible but at much higher, age-based premiums.
Important Considerations
Understand the limitations.
- Coverage expires at the end of the term; there is no payout if you outlive the policy.
- Premiums to renew or buy new coverage later in life are substantially higher.
- Term does not build cash value or savings of any kind.
- Approval is subject to underwriting; premiums depend on age, health, and term length.
May Be Worth Exploring If
- You need to protect income for a spouse, children, or other dependents.
- You want the most coverage available within a set budget.
- You have temporary obligations such as a mortgage or college costs.
- You are younger and in good health, when term rates are lowest.
Suitability depends on your individual circumstances. A consultation is educational and does not obligate you to purchase any product.
