Term life insurance provides affordable coverage to meet your needs. In most cases, it is the first type of life insurance you will purchase, as many younger individuals and families really appreciate the benefits a term life insurance policy provides. Term coverage allows you to select the amount of time you require coverage, which will provide a one-time, tax-free, cash payment to your family or loved ones if you died. With term being the most affordable option, it is perfect to meet your large insurance needs that will eventually expire.
Some examples of these types of needs include:
Although these are common uses for term life insurance, there are many other reasons why you may need life insurance. Life insurance premiums are affected by your age and health conditions, the younger and healthier you are, the better your rate will be! With this in mind, many of our clients begin to consider some of their future needs for insurance. If you are planning on getting married, having a child, purchasing a property, or starting a business, these are all great things to discuss with an advisor at Hometown. Securing coverage for these future guarantees coverage, even if your health changes in the meantime and can help ensure your family’s future!
Total Current Need = $460,000
Based on this example, Frank would require $1,810,000 of coverage (based on current need and income replacement) and Angela would require $1,960,000 of coverage. Based on the 30 year coverage need, the expected monthly premiums would be approximately $216 for Frank and $161 for Angela – that is less than $13/day combined to ensure their family is protected, by covering all outstanding debts, education costs, funeral expense, and replacing their income for loved ones left behind for the next 30 years!
Total Current Need = $335,000
Based on this example, Brian would require $335,000 of coverage (based on current need and future need). At the current time, Brian doesn’t have anybody relying on his income other than himself, but in the future this could change and require additional insurance coverage as in the example above. The expected monthly premium for this level of coverage would be approximately $20 – less than $0.70/day for a 10 year term policy. This would ensure that his loved ones aren’t left responsible for his outstanding debts, but perhaps more importantly, Brian has locked in his premiums for the next 10 years, no matter any change in his health or age!
Total Current Need = $185,000
Based on this example, Harold would require $1,535,000 of life insurance coverage (based on current need and income replacement), and Lorraine would require $1,085,000 of life insurance coverage. For a 20 year term policy (which could be cancelled at no cost after 18 years if they no longer require the coverage), the expected monthly premiums would be approximately $336 for Harold and $320 for Lorraine. Although the premiums are higher at their age (and in Lorraine’s case, because she is a smoker) they are ensuring that both of them will be able to retire on schedule with the funds to support the lifestyle they desire for less than $22/day combined. In the absence of life insurance, if something happened to either of them, the surviving spouse would likely never be able to retire, unless they significantly reduce their lifestyle expectations.
