Types of life insurance

The main kinds of policy, and what each is for

They all pay a death benefit to the people you name. What differs is how long they last, what they cost and whether they build value.

01

Term life

Coverage for a set period. Usually the lowest price, and it pays out only if you die during the term.

02

Whole life

Coverage for life with fixed premiums, and a cash value that builds over time. Usually costs more than term.

03

Universal life

Lifelong coverage with more flexibility over premiums and benefits. There are several variations, so the details matter.

04

Group life through work

Often offered by an employer. Convenient, but the amount is usually limited and it may not follow you if you leave.

05

No-exam policies

Quicker to arrange because they skip the medical exam. They often cost more or offer lower limits.

06

Final expense

Smaller whole life policies aimed at funeral and end-of-life costs. Read more.

How much coverage

Six things that decide the right amount

There's no single number that suits everyone. These are the questions that get you to yours.

01

Who relies on your income

A partner, children or other family who would struggle without it.

02

Debts to be cleared

A mortgage, car loan or other debts you wouldn't want to leave behind.

03

Future costs

Things like education for children or care for a family member.

04

What you already have

Savings, investments and existing policies, including coverage through work.

05

Final expenses

Funeral and other costs that arrive straight away.

06

How long you'll need it

Until the mortgage is paid, the children are independent, or for life.

What moves the price

What shapes the price of a policy

01

Your age

Generally, the younger you are when you start, the lower the price.

02

Your health

Medical history and current health are weighed by the insurer.

03

Tobacco use

Smokers and tobacco users typically pay more.

04

Coverage amount and length

A larger benefit or a longer term costs more.

05

Type of policy

Permanent policies cost more than term for the same benefit.

06

Riders and add-ons

Optional extras, such as access to part of the benefit if you become seriously ill, are priced separately.

When people ask us

Common reasons to look at life insurance

01

You're getting married

Someone now relies on your income or shares your debts.

02

You're having a child

A growing family usually means a bigger need for protection.

03

You've bought a home

A mortgage is often the debt people most want covered.

04

You're self-employed or starting a business

There's no employer plan, and others may depend on the business.

05

Your coverage through work might not follow you

If you change jobs, group coverage may not continue.

06

Your term is ending

When a policy runs out, it's worth checking what you need next.

Good to Know

Questions about Namoye

How much life insurance do I need?

It depends on who relies on your income, your debts, what you already have in savings or other coverage, and what you want the policy to achieve. Describe your situation and a professional can walk through the factors with you.

Should I choose term or whole life?

Term covers you for a set period, usually at a lower price. Whole life lasts for life and builds cash value, usually at a higher price. The right choice depends on what you need the policy to do.

Do I need a medical exam?

Some policies do, while others use a health questionnaire or no medical questions at all. Simpler underwriting often means a higher price or lower limits, and a professional can explain the trade-offs.

What should I have ready?

Your age, whether you use tobacco, a general picture of your health, the coverage you have in mind, who you'd name as beneficiary, and any policies you already hold. If you don't have everything, send the request anyway.

Will several agents call me?

No. A verified professional contacts you, not a list of agents.

Does it cost anything?

No. Namoye is free for you, and you're never obliged to buy.
