What is Whole Life Insurance?

Many people wonder what the differences are between whole life insurance and term life insurance. Whole life insurance is a type of permanent life insurance coverage that provides a guaranteed death benefit along with guaranteed* cash values. Part of each premium payment is applied to the policy's cash value account, which grows on a tax-deferred basis (based on current federal tax laws).
Whole Life Insurance

1. Premiums are set at a certain amount and don't change.
2. Premiums are partially determined based on the age of the insured. The younger the insured is, the less expensive the annual premium.
3. There are guaranteed cash values or dividends that are dependant on the specific terms of the policy.
4. The insured can borrow against cash values.
5. Current federal income tax law allows for deferred tax advantages for some insurance policies.
6. Whole Life Insurance provides coverage for the entirety of the insured's life, generally to age 100, as long as the policy is in force.
