Overview

What it is, in plain English

Whole life is permanent — as long as you pay the premiums, the coverage never runs out. It also builds cash value over time on a tax-deferred basis, which you can borrow against or access during your lifetime. It costs more than term, because it's built to last your whole life.

Is it right for you?

Whole Life Insurance tends to fit people who…

  • Have a need that will never go away
  • Want fixed premiums that never rise
  • Are doing estate or legacy planning
  • Want coverage plus a conservative cash-value build

Good to know

Common questions

Is whole life worth it?
It's worth it when you have a permanent need and the budget to fund it properly. For temporary needs like income replacement, term is usually the smarter buy. Many families use both.
How does cash value work?
A portion of each premium builds tax-deferred cash value. It grows slowly early on and accelerates over time.
How much more than term does it cost?
Often 5–15x for the same death benefit, because you're paying for permanence and the cash-value component.
