Whole life insurance is a type of permanent life insurance that provides coverage for your entire lifetime. Unlike term insurance, whole life never expires as long as you pay your premiums. These policies also build cash value over time-a savings component you can use for retirement, emergencies, or other goals.
Guaranteed cash value, no dividends.
Potential for dividends based on insurer performance.
Pay premiums for a set period (e.g., 10 or 20 years), but coverage lasts for life.
Pay the same amount for life (monthly or annually). Some plans let you pay up in 10, 15, or 20 years for lifetime coverage.
Your beneficiaries receive a guaranteed, generally tax-free lump sum (under current Canadian tax rules) when you pass away.
A portion of your premium builds cash value, which you can borrow against or use as savings. Some policies pay dividends if the insurer performs well.
Your policy remains active for life, even after retirement.
Whole life insurance costs more than term because it offers lifelong coverage and savings. Premiums depend on your age, health, coverage amount, and payment structure. For a personalized quote, speak with a Punjab Insurance advisor.
