Level Premium Life Insurance
Life insurance for which the premium remains the same from year to year. The premium is normally more than the actual cost of protection during the earlier years of the policy and less than the actual cost in the later years. The building of a cash value is a natural result of level premiums over a long period. Term policies generally have level premiums for the initial term, though they generally have no cash value. The payment in the early years, together with the interest that is to be earned, serves to balance out the underpayment of the later years.
Renewable Term Insurance
Term insurance that can be renewed at the end of the term, at the option of the policy owner and without evidence of insurability, for a limited number of successive terms. The rates generally increase at each renewal as the age of the insured increases.
