Most people start by deciding between term and permanent, then compare the amount and length of cover.

What to compare

  • Term length: 10, 20, 30 years, or to a set age.
  • Coverage amount, and whether it can be lowered or converted later.
  • Riders some insurers offer, such as critical illness or child cover.
  • Medical underwriting: full, simplified or none, and how that affects price.

Questions to ask any insurer or broker

  • Can I convert this term policy to permanent later without a medical?
  • Is the premium fixed for the whole term?
  • What happens if I miss a payment?
