Decreasing term life insurance

Decreasing term life insurance is constructed for those who have financial obligations and there is a risk that if something happens those debts may be not repaid. In such case this kind of insurance is a good decision because it usually is set to cover the outstanding balance of the debts. Decreasing term life insurance is provided by most life insurance companies.

Why decreasing term life insurance


Sometimes this type of insurance is also called mortgage protection insurance. Mortgage is usually one of the biggest financial obligations that an individual can have. Naturally it causes financial distress for family members because each month payments have to be made to the bank. If something happened to the breadwinners of the family, it would cause big problems to other family members. Thus, in order to protect themselves, family members should consider what possible precautions could be taken. Lets consider the situation where an individual wants to cover himself so it would be easier to pay off the mortgage for other family members in case the insured person dies. It is natural that mortgage burden is decreasing over time and there may be no need to have the same insurance cover in the first year as in the last ones. In this case a good option is to consider taking a decreasing term life insurance. As the name suggests, this type of insurance guarantees lower potential payoff as time passes by. For example, a person took a mortgage that is worth 1,000,000. The mortgage has to be fully repaid after 10 years. The mortgage is repaid using linear schedule. This means that every year 10% of the initial amount of mortgage has to be repaid and this amount is equal to 100,000. The graph above presents how the cover of life insurance decreases over time. In the first year the cover is equal to 1,000,000 because none of the mortgage is being repaid. Every year the cover is decreased by 100,000 and after 10 years the cover is equal to zero and the insurance is terminated.
