Term vs Permanent Life Insurance: Understanding the Difference


Life insurance generally falls into two main categories.


Term Insurance

Provides coverage for a specific period, such as:

  • 10 years

  • 20 years

  • 30 years

  • 35 years


Example:

A $500,000 term policy may cost significantly less per month than permanent coverage.


However, once the term ends, the coverage may expire.


Permanent Insurance

Permanent policies may last for life and may also accumulate cash value.


Examples include:

  • Whole life

  • Universal life

  • Indexed universal life


Permanent policies may serve both protection and long-term planning purposes.


Choosing between term and permanent insurance depends on individual goals, financial plans, and long-term strategy.
