    Key life insurance types in Manitoba

    Term Life Insurance Quote

    Term life insurance is the most affordable type of policy in Manitoba. It is ideal for defraying risks within a definable period, such as your earning years or the duration of your mortgage. The downside is, term life insurance in Manitoba starts out cheap when you are young, but premiums rise with each renewal. Lock in a great rate for as long a term as possible. For example, a healthy 30-year old male (non-smoker) can get $200,000 worth of coverage for 40 years for just $33.84/month.

    Term 100 Insurance Quote

    Term 100 is an ideal way to get permanent insurance with level premiums and no expiration. Unlike other forms of permanent insurance in Manitoba, it is pure insurance. That means there is no cash savings account or other perks. However, not having to worry about renewals makes this an attractive life insurance policy in Manitoba. For example, a healthy 30-year old female (non-smoker) can get $200,000 worth of Term 100 coverage for as low as $97.50/month.

    Whole Life Insurance Quote

    Whole life insurance is permanent insurance with a cash savings account and guaranteed investment values. Manitobans use whole life insurance to obtain a death benefit for their beneficiaries, but also a tax advantaged savings vehicle that can be leveraged through a policy loan. Whole life insurance should always be set up through a professional to achieve the best outcomes for your financial goals. A healthy 30-year old male (non-smoker) can get $200,000 worth of whole life insurance coverage in Manitoba for as low as $124.38/month, but premiums vary widely based on the individual’s risk factors and policy setup.

    Universal Life Insurance Quote

    Universal life insurance is another type of permanent policy in Manitoba. It also comes with a death benefit and cash savings account, but the investment is not guaranteed and therefore the policy holder assumes more risk. That being said, the cash in the policy is more accessible and can be withdrawn (as opposed to loaned). Like whole life, there are many variables that affect universal life insurance including a range of min/max contributions. It is best to have your universal policy set up by a qualified professional. Premiums will vary based on your age, risk factors, and policy setup. As an example, a healthy 30 year old female (non-smoker) can obtain $200,000 worth of coverage for around $83.00/month, but if she wishes to have the policy paid up within a certain amount of years, or invest up to the maximum to grow savings faster, this value can go up substantially.

    Simplified Life Insurance Quote

    Not everyone is in great health (a major factor for lower premiums) or has the time or desire for a medical as part of their life insurance application in Manitoba. Those individuals can turn to simplified issue insurance. Instead of medical underwriting, the applicant simply has to clear a short medical questionnaire. While more expensive than term, simplified issue is great for anyone in Manitoba with pre-existing conditions that would get them denied on a traditional policy. A female non-smoker in Manitoba can get a simplified term policy for $200,000 for around $33.66/month. The premium will vary based on the length of the term.

    Guaranteed Life Insurance Quote

    Guaranteed issue life insurance in Manitoba is the most expensive type of policy and it also has the lowest coverage available. It does not pay out for two years after the activation of the policy unless the life insured passed from an accident (not an illness). This is because it is often obtained by very senior individuals or those with a serious medical illness. If the insured passes from illness within the first two policy years, the premiums are returned to the beneficiaries. While it seems to have many drawbacks, guaranteed issue insurance in Manitoba helps families afford final expenses and other things like capital gains taxes on the deceased’s final tax return.

    Other Life Insurance types

    There are many other types of life insurance including disability and critical illness. With term and permanent policies, there are many variations and riders (add-ons that can be purchased) that enhance the policy. Speak with a LSM broker to get complete coverage at the best rates for your needs now, and into the future.

    Other Living benefits products in Manitoba

    Disability Insurance Quote

    Disability insurance in Manitoba replaces part of your income if you become disabled through an accident or some kinds of illness. Rates are dependent on your occupation and this policy can be structured to dovetail with group or government disability insurance. That being said, you cannot stack policies to obtain more than about 85% of your income. It is very important to have a professional help you with individual disability insurance as this is a very nuanced kind of policy.

    Critical Illness Insurance Quote

    What would happen to your income if you had a serious illness that wasn’t fatal, but required time off work, co-pays on expensive medication, or respite assistance at home? Critical illness insurance pays a tax-free lump sum on the diagnosis of an illness named in the policy. This money can be used however you wish. Some policies cover just heart attack, stroke, and cancer, but other policies cover 20+ illnesses. The rates for critical illness insurance in Manitoba will vary depending on your individual risk factors and how many conditions you want covered.

    Health & Dental Insurance Quote

    Health insurance is a highly flexible type of living benefit that helps with costs such as dental, co-pays on medication, and services like chiropractor, massage, etc. The rates for health insurance in Manitoba vary widely because you can structure packages based around what you need the most. A package with a heavy dental focus will cost more than a package that relies more on paramedical services.

    Other Living benefits

    Living benefits refer to insurance that pays out while the life insured is alive. This includes health, disability, and critical illness insurance. However, some life insurance policies in MB provide an advance on the premium in the event of a life-altering medical diagnosis. There are many facets to life insurance, which is why a broker is necessary to help you compare and understand your options.
