Life insurance quotes are estimated rate quotes for what your life insurance might cost if you were to apply for coverage through the insurer providing the quotes for your life insurance.

Return of premium term life insurance is life insurance for a specific number of years. if you outlive the term of your policy you receive a portion of the premium you paid back.

You can get a life insurance quote online. The best value life insurance quotes can be found on moneysupermarket.com. Return of premium term life insurance is more advantageous than normal life insurance as it promises to pay back a percentage of the premiums if you are still alive when the policy expires. Normal life insurance does not payback any premiums.

However premium term life insurance is more costly than normal life insurance, and the extra money you pay into premium term life insurance may have been better kept in your bank account, where it would have earned you interest.

Hi there!

As a life insurance agent, let me do my best to give you a clear answer to this question. Life insurance quotes come from all over the internet, and doing a google search for "term life insurance quote" will get you 7,840,000 results of people who want to GIVE you those quotes.

Now for return of premium insurance, you can do whatever you want to in that department. However, I personally say DO NOT DO IT. People tell you it's a great deal and there is no risk, but do the research for yourself. Term insurance is dirt cheap, and ROP (Return of Premium) term insurance is FAR more expensive (usually somewhere around 150-250%).

Why is it more expensive?

Because the company HAS to make sure they can profit from your business. They profit by you giving them SO much money that they can invest it themselves and make a good return. Then if you're still alive after 20 years or however long you decide to put it there, they can give you your money back and keep all the returns they made using YOUR money.

Can ROP Term Insurance make sense? Sure, if it's a huge issue.

But look at it this way-

You pay for auto insurance, home insurance, flood insurance, maybe even fire or cell phone insurance and you get none of that money back.

You are leveraging your risk by sacrificing a small amount of your income if something were to happen.

Go search online, get a term quote and wait for the 3-5 agents to try and compete for your business. It will be cheap, affordable, and protect your family when they need it the most.

Cheers,
-Monotide

If it is possible to buy whole life insurance, go for whole life insurance.
You can buy a whole life insurance, and then supplement for a term life insurance later.
After 20 years or so, you will be grateful for this decision.
Most people tend to let the insurance policies lapse when they are jobless, and need money for necessities.
if yours is a whole life insurance, the cash value is enough to keep the policy in force for a few years. If yours is a term life insurance, the policy will lapse.
Then you will find that you are without insurance coverage at the time when you need it most

 
 

Answer 8/8 - Submitted 8/8/2011

A Life Insurance Quote stipulates the premium required to service a particular amount of coverage and range of benefits. It is based on factors such as age, sex, health, occupation and lifestyle. A life insurance quote just tells you how much you need to pay to get coverage from particular insurers. Such quotes vary according to the type of life plan, the range of benefits selected and the insurer you're getting the quote from.

Refundable (or Return of Premium) term insurance is junk. Let me illustrate this by use of an example. Assume that both normal term insurance and refundable term were covering you for the same amount up to age 65. The normal term insurance might be $100 per month. However, the refundable terms premium is much higher - about $300 per month. Assume that you're 30 and have 35 years until the end of the plan.

With the normal term plan, the premiums you'd have paid by age 65 is $42,000. The plan would end and you'd get nothing back.

With the refundable term, you'd have paid $126,000 in premiums and you'd get all of it back. Sounds good, huh? Unfortunately, it isn't - especially if you understand the concept of opportunity cost. You had to pay $200 extra for the right to get your money back. What if you invested that $200 at 4% in a high-yield savings account? You'd have accumulated $180,000 by age 65! if you managed to get even higher returns, the gap would be even wider. At 6%, you'd have accumulated $274,720. Compare that to the refunded $126,000 and the point is clear.
