Types of life insurance

There are a few main kinds of life insurance, each suited to different goals and budgets. A licensed agent can help you decide which one fits you best.

Term life

Term life covers you for a set number of years — commonly 10, 20, or 30 — and is usually the most affordable way to get a large amount of coverage. It's a popular choice for protecting a specific window of responsibility, like the years left on a mortgage or the time until your children are grown and independent. If you outlive the term the coverage simply ends, though many policies can be renewed or converted to permanent coverage later on.

Whole life

Whole life is permanent coverage that lasts your entire life, as long as premiums are paid. Premiums are typically fixed, so they don't rise as you age, and the policy steadily builds cash value over time that you can borrow against if you ever need it. It generally costs more than term life, but in return you get lifelong protection together with a guaranteed savings component.

Universal life

Universal life is also permanent, but it's built for flexibility. Within certain limits you can adjust your premium payments and your death benefit as your needs change over the years, and the policy can build cash value tied to interest or market performance depending on the type you choose. It's a strong fit for people who want lifelong coverage with room to adapt as life evolves.

Protection you can count on

The right policy gives the people who depend on you a financial safety net for the moments that matter most. Whether it's covering a mortgage, replacing lost income, or handling final expenses, life insurance helps make sure a hard day never turns into a lasting financial crisis for the people you love.

Built around your life

Coverage is never one-size-fits-all, and it shouldn't be. A licensed agent takes the time to understand your family, your budget, and what you hope to leave behind, then helps match you with a policy built around your real priorities rather than a generic template.

Value beyond the payout

Life insurance can do more than pay out after you're gone. Certain permanent policies steadily build cash value you can borrow against or draw on while you're still living — a quiet, flexible asset that can support you through both opportunities and emergencies over the years.

Fits your budget

You shouldn't have to choose between protecting your family and staying within your means. With options across a wide range of price points, an agent can help you find meaningful coverage that fits comfortably into your monthly budget.

Straightforward process

Getting covered is often simpler than people expect. Many policies skip the medical exam entirely and rely on a short, straightforward application, so you can go from questions to coverage without a drawn-out process.

Only what you need

There's no reason to pay for protection you'll never use. An agent helps you tailor your coverage to your actual situation — the right type, the right amount, and nothing extra you don't need.

Couples

When two incomes hold a household together, losing either one can put everything you've built at risk. The right coverage helps the partner left behind stay in their home, keep up with shared expenses, and hold onto the plans you made together as a team.

Families

Raising a family comes with costs that don't pause for anything — the mortgage, childcare, everyday bills, and one day college tuition. A well-chosen policy helps make sure your children and partner can keep their footing, and their future on track, no matter what happens.

Singles

Being on your own doesn't mean life insurance has nothing to offer you. Coverage can clear out lingering debts, cover your final expenses so no one else has to, or leave a meaningful gift to a sibling, parent, friend, or cause that matters to you.

What affects your rate

Life insurance pricing isn't random — a handful of personal factors shape what you'll pay. Here are the main ones, and a licensed agent can walk you through exactly how each applies to your own situation.

1

Age

Age is one of the biggest drivers of cost. The earlier in life you apply, the lower your rate usually is, since premiums tend to climb steadily as you get older — which is why many people choose to lock in coverage sooner rather than later.

2

Health

Your overall health plays a major role in both your rate and your approval. Applicants in good health typically qualify for preferred pricing and have an easier path to getting covered, while existing conditions may shape the options available to you.

3

Tobacco & vaping

Insurers treat tobacco and vaping as a serious, measurable health risk. Because they're linked to long-term health concerns, smoking and vaping generally place you in a higher rate class and push premiums noticeably above those for non-users.

4

Medical history

Your personal medical record — and sometimes your immediate family's history — can factor into your rate. Conditions that affect long-term health and longevity may raise premiums, though an agent can point you toward carriers that view your history more favorably.

5

Lifestyle

How you spend your free time matters too. High-adventure hobbies such as skydiving, scuba diving, or rock climbing introduce added risk from an insurer's point of view, which can nudge your premiums upward depending on how often you take part.

6

Occupation

Some careers carry far more day-to-day risk than others. Hazardous work environments — an offshore oil rig, for instance — can add risk factors that raise rates, though the impact varies widely by role and by carrier.
