What is whole life insurance?

Simple, Permanent Life Insurance Coverage You Can Count On

Whole life insurance is the most straightforward type of permanent life insurance, as policy death benefits and premiums remain fixed over the life of the policy. Likewise, the policy’s cash value is inside a savings vehicle that earns a fixed rate of interest from the insurer. This cash value grows slowly over time and can be borrowed against as tax-free loans. Some whole life insurance policies also include dividend payments that can be used to pay premiums or reinvested into the policy’s cash value.

Whole life insurance might be your best option if:

  • You want guaranteed coverage for life
  • You want to build tax-sheltered savings
  • You want to borrow against the policy’s cash value in the future

Whole Life Insurance vs Term Life

There are two main differences between whole life insurance and term life: longevity and cash value. Term life policies only provide coverage for 10 to 30 years, while whole life insurance covers you for your lifetime and guarantees a death benefit. Whole life death benefits are typically much larger than term life payouts, as well. In regards to cash value, term life policies do not include this savings vehicle. In this way, many people think of term life insurance as an expense and whole life insurance as an investment.

Whole Life Insurance FAQs

Is whole life insurance more expensive than term life? Expand

Yes, whole life insurance is typically more expensive than term life. This is due to the longevity of the policy (lifetime), the guaranteed death benefit, the policy’s cash value and fixed interest rate, and fixed premiums for the life of the policy. In other words, you pay more for whole life insurance but you also get a lot more.

What happens to the remaining cash value after I die? Expand

While your beneficiaries will receive a lump sum payout of your death benefit, any leftover cash value on the policy is absorbed by the insurance company. This functionality helps to subsidize the cost of life insurance policies across the board.

How much whole life insurance do I need? Expand

Unfortunately, there is no magic number answer to this question. How much life insurance you need will depend entirely on your personal and familial situation. Many insurers use the DIME formula (Debt, Income, Mortgage, Education). See this article in our knowledge base for a more detailed look into how much life insurance you might need or give us a call today for an exact quote!
