As the name describes, whole life insurance provides for the insured's entire lifetime. The policies can generally be broken down into two types:

Participating Whole Life policies participate in the insurance company's profits. These plans provide level premiums and lifetime protection, but also have a higher cash-value and an increasing death benefit that is based on the insurance company's dividend scale.

Non-participating Insurance Policies also provide fixed premiums and lifetime protection. These policies have a lower initial premium, as the death benefit is level, and all values within the plan are generally fully guaranteed.

It is difficult to compare participating Whole Life policies because of their different dividend scales.

However, Non-participating Whole Life Policies are very easy to compare and you can get an instant quote at our Whole Life Insurance Calculator.

I am very pleased with the plan LSM Insurance set up for me. It's easy to see why they have become so successful. (1 of 81)
