How Life Insurance Works

Life insurance provides financial protection for your loved ones in the event of your death. The policy pays a death benefit to your beneficiaries, which can help cover funeral expenses, outstanding debts, and ongoing living costs.

Types of Life Insurance

There are several types of life insurance policies, each with its own features and benefits:

• Term Life Insurance: Provides coverage for a specific period (term) at a lower cost. If you outlive the term, the policy expires.
• Whole Life Insurance: Offers lifelong coverage with a cash value component that grows over time. Premiums are higher but guaranteed for life.
• Universal Life Insurance: Combines the flexibility of term insurance with a cash value component, allowing you to adjust premiums and coverage.

Key Factors Affecting Premiums

The cost of life insurance depends on several factors, including:

• Your age and health status
• Gender (men typically pay higher premiums than women)
• Coverage amount and term length
• Type of policy
• Underwriting class (non-smoker, preferred, standard, etc.)
