Whole life insurance usually costs about three times as much as five-year term insurance. However, the premiums of whole life insurance stay the same, whereas renewable term policies cost more at each renewal. Whole life policies charge a person an average annual premium based on insuring him for the whole of his life. This period is usually set at 100 years for statistical purposes.
Ordinary or whole life insurance is the kind generally promoted by insurance companies, and thus many salesmen may not recommend term insurance. A salesman also gets a smaller commission on a premium for term insurance than he does on the premium invested in ordinary insurance.
People buy whole life insurance so as to have permanent coverage and to accumulate money for the future. Part of the premium of a whole life policy goes toward building up cash value. Also, insurance companies pay interest on the cash value building up in a policy. If, for some reason, the insured person needs money, he can turn in his whole life policy and collect the accumulated cash value. But he does not necessarily need to surrender the policy. He can also keep the insurance. By borrowing its loan value, and then paying the interest on the loan as well as the premiums.
Unlike most term insurance policies, one can allow a whole life policy to lapse and still be covered.
