What is Whole Life Insurance?

Whole life insurance is more than just protection—it’s lifelong security and a smart financial tool. Unlike term life insurance, which only covers you for a set period, whole life insurance provides guaranteed coverage for your entire lifetime. This means your loved ones will always receive a tax-free death benefit, no matter when you pass away.

In addition to lifelong protection, whole life insurance builds cash value over time – a savings component that grows tax-deferred and can be accessed for future needs, like supplementing retirement income, covering emergencies, or funding education. With its combination of guaranteed protection, predictable premiums, and long-term financial growth, whole life insurance is an ideal choice for individuals and families who want to leave a lasting legacy and ensure lasting peace of mind.

How Does Whole Life Insurance Work?

When you purchase a whole life insurance policy in Canada, you’ll pay a fixed premium—monthly or annually—based on factors such as your age, health, and coverage amount. Unlike term life insurance, coverage never expires, and some plans even let you pay off your premiums in a shorter, limited timeframe.

Each premium you pay is divided into three parts:

Over time, this cash value builds into a financial resource you can access during your lifetime—for retirement planning, education costs, emergencies, or other needs. After a certain period (often 5 to 10 years), you can tap into this growing value without losing coverage.

When you pass away, your beneficiaries receive a guaranteed, tax-free death benefit, providing lasting peace of mind and financial security for your loved ones.

How Much Does Whole Life Insurance Cost?

Whole life insurance is generally more expensive than term life insurance because it guarantees a payout whenever you pass away and includes a built-in savings component that grows over time.

Like all insurance, the cost depends on personal factors such as age, health, gender, and smoking status. The younger and healthier you are when you apply, the lower your premiums will be. As you age, premiums increase because insurers have less time to collect payments before providing the guaranteed death benefit, which raises their financial risk.
