How much life insurance do I need?
A common starting point is 10 to 12 times your annual income. The right number depends on your debts, dependents, income replacement needs and long-term goals like college funding. We walk you through a quick needs analysis to find the right number for your family.
What is the difference between term and whole life insurance?
Term life covers you for a set period of 10, 20 or 30 years at a lower monthly cost, which suits income replacement during your working years. Whole life is permanent coverage that also builds cash value. Most families start with term, and we help you decide if permanent coverage makes sense later.
Is life insurance expensive?
Often much less than people expect. Rates rise with age and health changes, so the earlier you apply, the lower your rate. We compare carriers to find the best value for the coverage you need.
Do I need a medical exam to get covered?
Not always. Many policies offer simplified or no-exam underwriting for younger applicants or lower coverage amounts. Larger policies or certain health histories may need a basic medical exam, usually completed at home or at a convenient location.
Can I bundle life insurance with my home or auto policy?
Yes, and it is one of the easiest ways to reduce your overall insurance costs. Bundling can unlock multi-policy discounts, and you manage everything through one agent, one account and one renewal cycle.
What happens if I outlive my term policy?
The policy expires, which means you and your family made it through the years you needed protection most. At that point you can renew, convert to a permanent policy, or reassess whether you still need coverage.
