Term vs Whole Life Insurance

Understand the difference to choose what's right for you.

Term Life Costs Less

Term insurance is significantly cheaper because it only covers you for a set period. Perfect for temporary needs like mortgage protection.

Whole Life Never Expires

Whole of life insurance has no end date and guarantees a payout. More expensive but covers you forever.

Choose Based on Need

Term is ideal for covering debts that reduce over time. Whole life suits inheritance tax planning or permanent protection.

Term Life Insurance FAQs

Common questions about term life cover.

Term life insurance covers you for a set number of years. If you die during the term, your family receives a tax-free lump sum. If you outlive the term, the policy ends with no payout.
Match it to your need. For a mortgage, match the remaining mortgage term. For family protection, cover until your youngest child is financially independent (typically 18-21).
The policy simply ends. There is no payout and no refund of premiums. This is why term insurance is cheaper — not every policy results in a claim.
Most term policies cannot be renewed. However, some include a conversion option that lets you switch to a whole of life policy without further medical underwriting.
Yes, you can cancel at any time. However, there is no refund of premiums paid. Consider whether you still need cover before cancelling.
