How whole life insurance works
Whole life is permanent life insurance designed to remain in force when required premiums are paid and policy conditions are met. The contract generally combines a death benefit with cash value that grows according to policy guarantees and, for some contracts, non-guaranteed elements.
Whole life versus term life
| Feature | Whole life | Term life |
|---|---|---|
| Coverage period | Designed as permanent coverage | Selected term or coverage period |
| Cash value | Typically included | Typically not included |
| Initial premium | Often higher for comparable death benefits | Often lower during the initial level term |
| Policy complexity | Includes cash-value and loan provisions | Usually more straightforward |
Cash value and policy loans
Cash value is not the same as a bank savings account. Loans generally accrue interest, and loans or withdrawals can reduce cash value and the death benefit, create tax consequences, or cause a policy to lapse. Review an illustration and the issued contract before relying on projected values.
