Your options
Three ways to build your term policy
Every plan starts with the same foundation — a tax-free* lump-sum benefit paid to the people you choose. From there, you decide which extras matter to you.
The essential
Level Term
Pure, affordable protection. The most coverage for the lowest monthly price.
Same benefit and same premium for the whole term
Lowest cost per dollar of coverage
Often convertible to permanent coverage
Best for: Getting the most protection on a tight budget.
Most popular
Term with Living Benefits
Coverage you can use while you’re still alive, if a serious illness or injury strikes.
Access part of your benefit early for a qualifying terminal, chronic, or critical illness
Use the money however you need — treatment, bills, or lost income
Many carriers include these riders at no extra premium
Best for: Families who want protection for life’s “what ifs,” not just death.
Money back
Term with Return of Premium
If you outlive your term, you get back the premiums you paid.
Full protection for the entire term
A refund of your base premiums if the policy stays in force through the end of the term
The refund is generally not taxable*
Best for: People who want protection now and a payback later.
*Death benefits are generally income-tax-free to beneficiaries, and return-of-premium refunds are generally not taxable because they return money you already paid. Consult a tax professional about your situation. Return-of-premium plans cost more than level term, and refund terms vary by carrier. Living-benefit rider availability, qualifying conditions, and payout amounts vary by carrier and state; accelerated benefits reduce the death benefit paid to beneficiaries.

Match your coverage to the years that matter
The right term covers you until your biggest responsibilities are behind you — the kids are grown, the house is paid off, and your savings can carry the load.
10 yrs

15 yrs
Getting older kids through school and out on their own
20 yrs
Raising young children until they’re independent
25 yrs

40 yrs
Locking in today’s rate for nearly your whole working life
What affects your price
What goes into your premium
Carriers price term life on how likely they are to pay a claim during the term. These are the factors that matter most.
Your age
The younger you are when you apply, the lower your rate. Waiting a few years usually costs more each month.
Your health
Medical history, current conditions, height and weight, and medications all shape your health class.
Tobacco and nicotine
Smokers and vapers typically pay much more. Many carriers offer better rates after you’ve quit for a set time.
Coverage amount
A larger death benefit costs more, though the price per dollar of coverage often drops at higher amounts.
Term length
Longer terms cost more per month because the carrier covers you for more years, and into older ages.
Plan type and riders
Return of premium and some optional riders add to the price. Level term is usually the least expensive.
Estimate your coverage
How much might your family need?
A simple way to start: add up what your family would need to pay for, then subtract what you already have in place. Here’s how that might look for a hypothetical family.
Hypothetical example · Two parents, two young kids
Income replacement$60,000 a year × 10 years
$600,000
Mortgage balance
$250,000
Car loans and other debts
$20,000
College for two children
$100,000
Funeral and final expenses
$15,000
Minus life insurance through work
− $120,000
Minus savings set aside
− $25,000
Estimated coverage need
≈ $840,000
This is a simplified illustration, not a recommendation. Your real number depends on your income, debts, savings, goals, and how many years your family would need support. I’ll walk through your own numbers with you.

Take a healthy 35-year-old non-smoker weighing two options. Neither is “better.” Each fits a different situation.
Policy A$500,000 · 20-year term
Policy B$750,000 · 30-year term
Coverage lasts until
About age 55
About age 65
Monthly premium
Lower. Locked for 20 years
Higher. Locked for 30 years
Covers a 30-year mortgage?
Only the first 20 years
Yes, the full loan
May suit someone who
Has older kids, a shorter mortgage, or a tight budget
Has young kids, a new mortgage, and wants protection to retirement
Trade-off to weigh
Less coverage, and it ends sooner. New coverage later would cost more at an older age
Costs more each month, and you may pay for coverage longer than you need it
For illustration only. This is not a quote or a guarantee of coverage or price. Actual premiums depend on your age, health, tobacco use, coverage amount, term length, carrier, and underwriting approval.
Living benefits
Life insurance you don’t have to die to use.
A serious diagnosis can bring big medical bills and months without a paycheck. Living-benefit riders let you accelerate part of your death benefit while you’re alive, so you can focus on getting better — not on how to pay the bills.
Terminal illness — a diagnosis with a limited life expectancy, typically 12–24 months
Chronic illness — unable to perform two of six activities of daily living, or severe cognitive impairment
Critical illness — qualifying events such as heart attack, stroke, cancer, or organ failure
Critical injury — on select plans, events like severe burns, paralysis, or traumatic brain injury
Return of premium
Protection now. Money back later.
The most common worry about term life is “what if I pay for 30 years and never use it?” A return-of-premium plan answers that. If you outlive your term and the policy stays in force, the carrier returns the base premiums you paid.
Typically available on 20-year and 30-year terms
Higher monthly premium than level term, in exchange for the refund
Works like a forced savings plan, with life insurance built in
Some plans offer a partial refund if you cancel early — I’ll show you the details for each carrier
Why term life
Replace your income. Protect their future.
Income replacement
Gives your family years of your paycheck, so everyday life can go on without you.
Debts paid off
Pays off the mortgage, car loans, and credit cards, so your family isn’t left with them.
Their future funded
Keeps college, childcare, and your spouse’s retirement on track — just as you planned.
Who it’s for
If someone depends on you, term life is for you.
Term life is the simplest, most affordable way to protect the people who count on your income. It’s a great fit for:
Parents with young children or kids still at home
Homeowners with a mortgage to pay off
Couples who rely on both incomes to cover the bills
Business owners protecting a partner or a business loan
Anyone whose work coverage is too small or would end with the job

A common starting point is 10 to 15 times your yearly income, plus your mortgage and other debts, plus future costs like college. I’ll walk through your numbers with you and recommend an amount — up to $2 million — that actually fits your family.
How long should my term be?
Pick a term that lasts until your family no longer depends on your income — usually until your youngest child is on their own and your mortgage is paid off. Terms are available from 10 up to 40 years, depending on your age.
What happens when my term ends?
Coverage ends, and so do the payments. Many policies let you renew year to year at a higher rate, or convert to permanent coverage without a new medical exam before a set deadline. With a return-of-premium plan, you also get your base premiums back.
Do living benefits cost extra?
Many carriers include terminal, chronic, and critical illness riders at no additional premium. Others charge a small fee. Any benefit you use early is subtracted from the amount your beneficiaries receive later.
Is return of premium worth the higher price?
It depends on your goals. If you value getting your money back and like the discipline of a built-in savings plan, it can be a great fit. If keeping your monthly cost as low as possible matters most, level term usually wins. I’ll show you both prices side by side.
Do I need a medical exam?
Not always. Many carriers offer no-exam options that use health questions and records instead. Your age, health, and coverage amount decide what’s available — higher coverage amounts may require an exam.
Isn’t the life insurance through my job enough?
Work coverage is usually just one or two times your salary, and it typically ends when you leave the job. A personal term policy stays with you no matter where you work.
