Types of term life Insurance

There’s different types of life insurance; they all aim to offer financial protection for when the policy holder dies and offer slightly different types of cover.

The alternative to a term life policy is a whole of life policy. These pay out whenever you die - and as this will happen at some point, these policies are typically more expensive. It’s also known as life assurance.

Cignpost Life insurance is a term life policy.

Level term

The payout and cover stays the same throughout the amount of time you are insured for. Put simply, you decide the amount of cover to take out and that’s what the policy pays. This is often taken out for families, who want to cover for costs such as protecting their families lifestyle or child care costs as well as monthly outgoings such as a mortgage.

Increasing term

Increasing term policies, as the name suggests, this increases the payout the longer the policy runs. The cover amount increases each year by 3% and your premiums increase by 3.75% each year to pay for the increased cover and age. The increasing option helps to provide some degree of protection against the risk of inflation.

decreasing-graph

Decreasing term

This means the cover amount decreases each year to pay off an outstanding mortgage or loan by the end of the term based on an interest rate of 8%. This is because your debt should be decreasing as you repay it over time.
