What is term life insurance?
Use this as a starting point. The final product wording and provider terms always take precedence.
Understand term life insurance, how cover amounts and policy duration work, and what to review before requesting an illustration or speaking with a provider.
There is rarely one feature that tells the whole story. Your circumstances, eligibility, costs, coverage or investment risk, service process and written terms all matter.
A useful rule:
Ask what the product does, what it does not do, what it costs over time, and what happens if your circumstances change.
Before you act
Read official product documents. Check definitions, exclusions, fees, limits, eligibility, risks and complaint channels. Ask the provider to explain any term you do not understand.
Types and structures to understand
These categories are a learning framework, not a recommendation. Availability varies by provider.
Increasing cover
Some products increase cover over time; check the premium and exact structure.
Decreasing cover
Cover may reduce over time to match a declining liability, subject to availability.
Riders
Optional benefits change cost and coverage; read each rider separately.
What deserves a closer look?
Compare like with like and avoid making a decision on one headline feature.
Cover amount
Consider liabilities, dependants, future costs, income replacement and existing assets.
Policy term
Consider how long dependants may rely on your income.
Premium term
Premium payment duration can differ from policy duration.
Underwriting
Health, occupation and lifestyle questions must be answered accurately.
Exclusions and claims
Review exclusions, nomination details and claim documents.

Frequently asked questions
Is term insurance an investment?
Pure term cover is primarily protection; savings-linked products have different objectives and terms.
How much cover is right?
There is no universal amount. Consider liabilities, dependants, future needs and existing cover.
Will everyone get the same premium?
No. Age, health, cover, term, occupation and underwriting may affect acceptance and pricing.
