Whole of Life Insurance FAQs

Common questions about whole of life cover.

Whole of life insurance is a policy that lasts your entire lifetime and guarantees a payout to your beneficiaries whenever you die. Unlike term insurance, it never expires.

Whole of life insurance costs more than term insurance because it guarantees a payout. Premiums depend on your age and health. A 40-year-old non-smoker might pay £50-100 per month.

Yes. Whole of life insurance is commonly used to cover inheritance tax bills. Written in trust, the payout goes directly to your beneficiaries without being added to your estate.

Fixed premiums never change but start higher. Reviewable premiums start lower but can increase at review points (typically every 5-10 years). Fixed gives certainty; reviewable gives lower initial cost.

It depends on your goals. If you need guaranteed lifetime cover for inheritance tax planning or to leave a legacy, yes. For temporary needs like mortgage protection, term insurance is better value.
