Definition
-
A level term policy is a policy that levels out the premium payment for the term of the policy. It also provides guaranteed death benefits that remain level for the life of the policy. You may purchase these policies for terms of five to 30 years.
Significance
-
A level term policy of five years is ideal for insuring a car loan or some other short-term debt. A 30-year term policy is ideal for insuring a home mortgage or some other long-term debt. Long-term policies, like a 30-year term, are also excellent for insuring your own life in the event you die before you're able to accumulate a savings for retirement.

Benefit
-
Term life insurance is cheap. Premiums relative to the death benefit you receive are often very low. This means you can buy more death benefit with less money when compared to permanent life insurance policies. A term policy is also guaranteed for the the length of the term, meaning you cannot lose your coverage as long as you pay your premiums on time. For many term policies, your premium is also guaranteed never to increase.
Consideration
-
While most level term policies offer guaranteed level premiums, there are level term policies without any specific guarantee of level premium payments. These policies may be repriced during the term, and the premium might increase if the insurer experiences lower than expected investment returns or higher than normal claims. If you want a truly guaranteed policy, make sure you buy a guaranteed level term policy.
