What it covers

  • A death benefit that doesn't expire, as long as premiums are paid
  • Cash value that grows over time on a tax-deferred basis
  • Level premiums that don't increase with age
  • The ability to borrow against accumulated cash value

What it doesn't cover

  • Immediate access to full cash value in the early years of the policy
  • Flexible premium adjustments (that's more of a Universal Life feature)
  • Coverage lapses if premiums stop and cash value is insufficient to cover them

Who needs this

Anyone wanting permanent, lifelong coverage plus a savings component, often used for estate planning, leaving a guaranteed inheritance, or supplementing retirement income later through cash value loans.

From our horror stories

Common questions

Whole Life Insurance FAQ

How is this different from term life?

Term life is temporary and expires. Whole life lasts your entire lifetime and builds cash value, at a meaningfully higher premium for the same death benefit.

Can I borrow against my policy?

Yes, once sufficient cash value has built up, typically after several years. Unpaid loans reduce the death benefit if not repaid.

What happens to my beneficiaries if the policy has a loan against it?

The outstanding loan balance is typically deducted from the death benefit paid out, so it's worth keeping loans in mind when planning your coverage amount.
