Frequently Asked Questions

How much life insurance do I need?
A common rule is 10–12× your annual income. The DIME method is more precise: Debt + Income (years needed × annual income) + Mortgage + Education costs. This calculator uses DIME.
What is term life insurance?
Term life insurance provides coverage for a specific period (10, 20, or 30 years). It pays a death benefit if you die during the term. It's significantly cheaper than whole life and is recommended for most people.
