Frequently Asked Questions
Is a life insurance policy still worthwhile?
Traditional capital-forming life insurance offers low returns due to persistently low guaranteed interest rates. Term life insurance is much cheaper and may be more suitable for pure risk protection.
What types of life insurance are there?
The main types are term life insurance (pure death benefit), endowment life insurance (savings plus death benefit), and unit-linked life insurance (investment-based). Each serves different financial goals.
What is the Life Insurance Calculator?
The life insurance calculator computes the expected payout of an endowment policy or the premium for a term life insurance policy.
How does the Life Insurance Calculator work?
