We frequently hear from our customers asking how much life insurance coverage do I need?

The amount of life insurance that you require is specific to you and your family. This amount is dependent on your families financial situation and needs. We need to understand your current situation to help determine how much life insurance coverage you should be considering. Some of the questions that we ask include questions about your occupation, annual income, debts, dependents, education needs and more.

We want to ensure that if something happens to a member in your family, your family is able to maintain their standard of living. Basically we want to be able to replace the income and support of whomever passes away so that your family can be able to move on without having to worry about finances.

Understanding how much life insurance coverage that you need is definitely crucial… Especially for families with unusual debts and finances such as high debts and medical bills. Once you are sure that your life insurance agent is taking into consideration all of your current and future financial needs, you can then purchase a life insurance policy that is right for you and your family.

The cost of your life insurance policy is dependent on many different factors. When determining the cost of a life insurance policy, the life insurance company will need to know about your gender, age, smoking status, lifestyle habits, past and current medical status, type of life insurance you are applying for and the coverage amount. These are all factors which will play a role in determining the final premium cost of your life insurance policy.

To keep it simple, the higher the risk you are to the insurance company, the higher the cost of the policy will be. The older you are, the higher the premiums. If you are a smoker, the premiums will also be higher. If you have had past medical issues such as cancer, heart attack or are currently a diabetic then there also could be increases in the cost of the policy.

The good news is that once you have been approved for a life insurance policy, accept it and are paying the premiums you do not have to worry about any changes in your health. When applying for life insurance, the life insurance company is looking at your current and past health. Once approved, you and the life insurance company enter into a binding contract and any changes in your health afterwards has no effect on your policy.

On the flip side, you might already have a life insurance policy and have higher than normal premiums because you were in worse health than you are in today- even though you are older today. Depending on the situation, you may actually be paying too much for your life insurance and can get a lower rate. Maybe you had an increase in the cost of your policy due to travel, piloting a plane or deep sea scuba diving which you no longer do.

It is also beneficial to stay on top of your financial security and review your options from time to time to make sure that you have the right policy in place.

There are many differences between mortgage life insurance and term life insurance (which we offer).

Mortgage life insurance is life insurance provided by your bank to cover the outstanding balance of your mortgage. You pay the same monthly premium while your coverage decreases (because the principal of the mortgage is being paid down). You have to revisit your insurance options every time you make changes to your mortgage (every five years for most people). You cannot choose the beneficiary as the bank is the beneficiary (your family does not receive any funds). It is not 100% guaranteed to pay out because the bank will decide at the time of claim if they will pay or not (this is called post-claim underwriting). On top of all of this, it’s usually very expensive!

Term life insurance is a product that we sell and is offered by over 20 life insurance companies in Canada. You can choose the exact amount of coverage your family needs (e.g. $750,000) as well as the term length. It provides level premiums (cost of the policy) and level death benefit for a period of time, typically 10, 20 or 30 years. You can choose the coverage amount and it does not have to be the outstanding balance of your mortgage. You can also choose the beneficiary of the policy (it’s not the bank, unlike mortgage life insurance). Once the policy is approved the policy is guaranteed to pay out and the cost is usually less than mortgage insurance.

Shopping for the right life insurance policy can be daunting, especially considering the many different providers, coverage types, and premium rates that exist. Life insurance quotes help you to sort through the various life insurance policies on the market to find the right one—for your needs and budget. Typically, all you need to obtain a custom life insurance quote is to fill in some basic personal information, like age, gender and smoking status, and what policy type you are interested in. From there, you will be presented with one or many policy options that fit your criteria.

The key to comparing life insurance quotes is to find a premium rate you can afford for the type of coverage you are looking for (i.e. term or whole life insurance). It is also important to remember that instant life insurance quotes are based on only a handful of factors, meaning that final premium rates may vary depending on the underwriting process and your overall health.

While in the past a life insurance customer may have had to obtain quotes from each life insurance provider and compare them at home, it is now possible to use a centralized platform—like LifeInsuranceCanada.com—to generate and compare life insurance quotes and policies. You can also work with an independent insurance broker, who will do the legwork and present you with custom quotes from various insurance providers.

There are two key things to know about life insurance and taxes in Canada. First, the death benefit is tax-free, meaning that the beneficiary of a life insurance policy will receive the entire death benefit without having to report it as taxable income on their annual tax return. The second thing to note is that life insurance premiums you pay every month are generally not tax-deductible.

There are many factors that go into how much life insurance you may need, including number of dependents, income, and debts. This means that every person has a different coverage need. Head over to our easy coverage calculator to see how much life insurance you need.

Life insurance in Canada ensures that your loved ones have financial support in the event of your death. In short, you select and apply for a policy that meets your needs, and pay a monthly premium over the course of the policy. A death benefit is paid to your beneficiary (or beneficiaries) if/when you die, which helps to cover funeral costs, any debts, as well as income replacement. There are different types of life insurance policy in Canada, which can be explored in more depth here.
