Online Life Insurance – Online Term Life – Online Whole Life

Should you buy online life insurance?

Level Term vs. Decreasing Term: Assumption Life Offers Both

Assumption Life, one of Canada’s oldest life insurance companies, offers a Flex Term policy, which provides Level Term coverage for 15, 20, or 25 years, and a Flex option plan, which is a decreasing term also available for term durations of 15, 20, and 25 years.

Level Term coverage means the premiums are fixed for the length of the term and the coverage is also fixed for the term. Whereas, a Decreasing Term Plan provides premiums that are level to the duration of the term, but coverage decreases and stops at the end of the policy term.

Assumption Life has re-priced both of these plans very well at most age brackets and coverage amounts. The following is a snapshot of their pricing for a 45-year-old, male non-smoker applying for $250,000.00 of 20-year Term coverage.

The Flex Term rate (the Level Term Plan) would be $63.22 a month.

cemetary 3 image by sonya etchison from Fotolia.com  Life insurance can be used to pay funeral expenses, among other things. There are few better ways to kill a conversation than to discuss the benefits of buying life insurance. Many people avoid thinking about their own deaths whenever possible, and even more avoid planning for it. Despite the unpleasant nature of considering your mortality, however, there are several reasons why developing and implementing a life insurance strategy for yourself and your family is not only a good idea, but essential.

Funeral Expenses

At a minimum, your survivors must pay the cost of your funeral or cremation. These costs can add up to several thousand dollars or more, and many families do not have that much money in disposable income, or may have to sacrifice other financial goals to cover the expense. Full Post…

Life Insurance Rates – Decide Which Rates Are Best For You

Life insurance rates have been at the center of much controversy in the past and I expect they will be debated in the future as well. At the center of the problem life insurance companies as well as their agents try to project their rates as the best and, where they can, the lowest. To get a true picture and a fair comparison we first of all need to compare apples with apples. We need to look at the different types of life insurance and get an appreciation of which life insurance rates are supposed to be lower and why…

With so many different term insurance policies and even some fairly new ones we can’t just say term life insurance rates are the cheapest or conclude that term policies are the best. With the return received in the form of cash values and dividends we cannot categorize whole life insurance as the most expensive. There are too many variables.

Are Life Insurance Dividends Reported as Income?

Potential

There are several ways that dividends can be accounted for in a life insurance policy. First, dividends may go toward buying additional life insurance. Secondly, dividends can be held with the company and earn interest. Third, dividends can be paid out as cash. Finally, dividends can be used to reduce the premium payment due on the policy. The only time dividends are reported as income is if or when they are paid out as cash and they exceed the total amount of premiums you’ve paid into the policy.

Significance

The significance of dividends being reported as income is that the dividends are added to your gross income and included as investment income. Investment income is taxed at ordinary income tax rates. If your dividend amount is significant enough, you may be pushed into the next highest tax bracket. Full Post…
