What Is Life Insurance and What Does It Cover?
Life insurance is designed to offer financial support to your beneficiaries after your passing. Unlike other types of insurance that handle immediate needs, life insurance can help create a foundation for your family's long-term financial stability. Depending on your coverage selection, a life insurance policy may include the following:
- Death benefit coverage may help provide financial support to your designated beneficiaries.
- Cash value accumulation may offer living benefits in certain types of policies.
- Optional riders may help customize your coverage for specific needs, such as accelerated death benefits or disability coverage.
- Terminal illness benefits may allow early access to funds if diagnosed with a qualifying condition.
How Much Does Life Insurance Cost?
Age typically plays the most significant role in determining premiums, with younger applicants generally qualifying for lower rates. Your health history, including current conditions and family medical background, impacts your premium costs. Lifestyle choices such as smoking, occupation and even hobbies can affect rates.
The type and amount of coverage you choose directly influence your costs. Term life insurance usually offers lower premiums than permanent life insurance but doesn't build cash value. Coverage amount affects premiums—higher death benefits mean higher premiums.
Many people find their rates affected by their payment schedule and policy features. Paying annually versus monthly often reduces overall costs. Additionally, adding riders or special features increases premiums but may offer valuable benefits for your specific situation.
