How to choose term life insurance
Master your finances with our expert-curated guides and insights.
Key tips
Calculate coverage needed
Rule of thumb: 10–12× your annual income. Factor in mortgage, dependents, and income replacement for your working years.
Match the term to your need
20-year term covers you while kids are young and mortgage is active. 30-year provides maximum protection into retirement.
Check A.M. Best rating
Only buy from insurers rated A or better by A.M. Best. This measures financial strength and ability to pay claims.
No-exam options available
Most healthy applicants under 60 qualify for no-medical-exam policies with same-day approval and competitive rates.
