Things to know about term life insurance

What is the difference between term life and whole life insurance?


Term life covers you for an amount of time you select—such as 10, 20, or 30 years2—for a benefit amount you select. Term is typically the most affordable and simple type of life insurance coverage. Whole life is a permanent life insurance that
covers your entire lifetime, often with fixed premiums and a cash value.

How much term life coverage do I need?


Typically, you'll need coverage of 10 to 12 times your annual income. Consider how much loved ones may need for essential expenses like a mortgage and even future goals like college. Use the Coverage Calculator to estimate how much coverage you may need.

How long should I have term life insurance for?


Consider how long your loved ones would need help covering major expenses like a mortgage, rent, or childcare. Fidelity offers term life insurance in increments of 10, 15, 20, 25, or 30 years2 in most states. Get a quote to estimate your coverage needs and the cost.

Frequently asked questions

  • Is term life insurance right for me?

    Term life insurance covers you for a specific number of years and a fixed amount of money. It can act as a safety net and give financial help to your loved ones if you pass away unexpectedly. Term life insurance is available for those who are 18 years old and older, US citizens, and permanent residents of the United States.

  • What happens at the end of my term or coverage period?

    Term life insurance covers you for a specific number of years or term. For example, if you buy a 10-year term policy, you pay a fixed amount for those 10 years. At the end of the term, you can end your policy. If you choose to extend your policy, your premium would increase significantly.

  • Why do I need a medical exam when applying for a Fidelity Term Life Insurance policy? Who does it?
    Usually, you'll need a medical exam so we can understand your health and give you a personalized rate. A paramedic will do the 30-minute exam. It's safe, secure, and free.
