People very well understand the importance of health insurance when you explain them. They are eager to understand the risks and rewards of mutual funds. But when it comes to term insurance, most people feel it\u2019s a waste of money.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Term insurance is a safety net that we buy and hope we never have to use it. And, this is the biggest challenge. People feel that they should put the money in something that grows and gives a return.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In my decade-long career, I\u2019ve seen people often prioritize EMIs, vacations, gadgets, and other immediate needs over long-term protection. But, as a professional, I understand the value of term insurance and feel it\u2019s my responsibility to educate people on the matter. Because it\u2019s for everyone\u2019s benefit.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What is a Term Insurance? <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Term insurance is a life insurance policy that covers you for a specific period, or \u2018term.\u2019 If something happens to you during that time, your family gets a lump sum payout. If not, the policy just ends once the term is over.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The key features that make term insurance stand out include &#8211;<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fixed Term &#8211; You choose how long you want to be covered, depending on your needs and stage of life. The term could be 5, 10, 20, or even 30 years.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Death Benefit &#8211; If you\u2019re no longer around during the term, your loved ones receive a fixed amount to help them stay financially stable.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Budget-Friendly Premiums &#8211; It\u2019s one of the most affordable ways to get high life cover. You pay less, but your family gets more.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pure Protection &#8211; There\u2019s no savings or returns involved. Term insurance is all about protecting your family when they need it most.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No Maturity Value &#8211; If the ensured person is alive till the end of the term and that\u2019s what we all hope for), the policy simply ends at the end of the term.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why Should You Buy a Term Insurance Plan?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWhy buy term insurance when there\u2019s no return?\u201d is the most common question clients ask when they are introduced to term insurance. Standing in their shoes, I would say, that\u2019s definitely the right question. Investments in mutual funds, stocks and other assets that grow sounds like a smarter choice when compared to something where you pay installments hoping the money never comes back.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But, one thing most people fail to understand is \u2018term insurance is a protection not an investment\u2019. Comparing term insurance with investment is not an apple-to-apple comparison.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is similar to asking why have fire extinguisher when we are neither using it nor it is growing in value. We buy a fire extinguisher so that if something goes wrong, we are not left helpless.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here\u2019s why term insurance still matters, even if it doesn\u2019t \u201cgive returns\u201d:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>It replaces your income when you&#8217;re not around.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> No mutual fund will send money to your family tomorrow if something happens to you today.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>It keeps your long-term goals on track \u2014 even in your absence.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Child\u2019s education, home loan, spouse\u2019s day-to-day expenses \u2014 the payout from term insurance ensures your plans don\u2019t fall apart.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>It\u2019s affordable, which means you can still invest elsewhere.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Premiums are so low, you can secure your family <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> build wealth through other instruments like SIPs or PPF.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>It gives peace of mind.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Knowing your loved ones won\u2019t struggle financially is a return that doesn\u2019t show up in numbers \u2014 but matters the most.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We all hope for a smooth ride in life. But if there\u2019s even a slightest chance of a storm ahead, wouldn\u2019t you want your family to have a strong <\/span><b>anchor<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to hold on to?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Term insurance is that anchor<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2014 it doesn\u2019t promise to sail you faster, but it will keep you steady when the unexpected hits.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When Is the Right Time to Buy Term Insurance?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re wondering when to buy term insurance, the simple answer is: <\/span><b>the sooner, the better.<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many people wait \u2014 thinking they\u2019ll buy it \u201clater\u201d when they\u2019re older, earning more, or have bigger responsibilities.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> But life doesn\u2019t wait. And neither do <a href=\"https:\/\/economictimes.indiatimes.com\/industry\/banking\/finance\/insure\/why-is-the-race-for-your-insurance-premiums-hotting-up\/articleshow\/119205660.cms?from=mdr\">insurance premiums<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here\u2019s why it\u2019s smart to start early:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Lower Premiums:<\/b><b><br \/>\n<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> When you\u2019re young and healthy, the cost of term insurance is <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">way<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> lower. You can lock in a small premium for a big cover \u2014 and that rate stays fixed for the entire term.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Health Advantage:<\/b><b><br \/>\n<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> No one can predict health issues. Buying early means you get coverage without worrying about illnesses that could either raise your premiums or lead to rejection later.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Future-Proofing Your Family:<\/b><b><br \/>\n<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Even if you don\u2019t have kids or loans yet, life can change quickly. Having term insurance in place means you\u2019re prepared \u2014 no matter when those big life events happen.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Think of it like planting a tree. You don\u2019t plant it when you need shade <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">today<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. You plant it early so by the time you truly need it, it\u2019s already standing tall, ready to protect.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How Much Term Insurance Do You Really Need?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Okay, so you\u2019ve decided to buy term insurance but don\u2019t know how much would be <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">enough<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">? Is \u20b950 lakhs okay? Or should you go for \u20b91 crore? \u20b92 crores?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don\u2019t worry. Everyone begins at the same point. But, honestly speaking there\u2019s no one-size-fits-all answer to this question.\u00a0 Our life, responsibilities, and dreams are unique and so is our coverage need.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are a few simple ways to figure it out:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1. Income Replacement Method<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The income replacement method is very simple and straightforward. It is a rough calculation of how much are you going to earn (given present scenario) and give your family that replacement amount.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To calculate this you just multiply your annual income by the number of years you plan to keep working.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example:<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><strong> \u20b910 lakhs a year \u00d7 25 working years = \u20b92.5 crore<br \/>\n<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> That\u2019s what your family would need to stay financially secure if you\u2019re not around.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2. Human Life Value (HLV) Method<\/span><b><\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Human Life Value method goes a bit deeper \u2014 instead of just calculating your salary, it considers your actual <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">value<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to your family in financial terms.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It looks at things like your current income, future potential earnings, your lifestyle expenses, liabilities (like loans), and savings.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In short, it answers: <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you weren\u2019t around, how much future wealth would your family miss out on?<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s a more customised and realistic way to calculate your ideal coverage.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>To know more about this method, click <a href=\"https:\/\/www.investopedia.com\/terms\/h\/humanlifeapproach.asp\">here.<\/a><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3. Needs-Based Calculation<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This one focuses on your family\u2019s <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">actual future needs<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> rather than your income.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> It takes into account things like:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Children\u2019s education and marriage<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Home loan or car loan repayments<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Monthly living expenses<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Any other financial goals you had planned for them<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you\u2019ve added all of that, subtract your existing savings or investments. What\u2019s left is the shortfall \u2014 and that\u2019s the amount your term plan should cover.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">[The Thumb Rule: If none of the methods feel apt you should follow the general rule of thumb &#8211; your cover should be 10\u201315 times your annual income.]<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What Do Insurers Check Before Offering Term Insurance?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You might already know insurance are subject to approval from the insuring company. So, Before an insurer says \u201cyes\u201d to your term plan, they do a quick reality check to understand <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">you<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> better. It is to assess the risk fairly so they can offer you the right coverage.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here\u2019s what they usually look at:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Your Age<\/b><b><br \/>\n<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> The younger you are, the lower the risk\u00a0 and usually, the lower the premium too.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Annual Income<\/b><b><br \/>\n<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> This helps insurers figure out how much cover you can reasonably go for. After all, a term plan should fit your life, not stretch it.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Medical History &amp; Pre-existing Conditions<\/b><b><br \/>\n<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> If you&#8217;ve had any health issues in the past or are managing one now, they&#8217;ll take that into account.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Lifestyle Habits<\/b><b><br \/>\n<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Things like smoking or regular alcohol consumption can increase risk, and insurers will ask about them honestly.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Body Mass Index (BMI)<\/b><b><br \/>\n<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Your height and weight give a quick snapshot of your overall health.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Heads up: <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re already dealing with a serious illness like cancer or advanced heart disease, your application may be declined \u2014 but don\u2019t let that discourage you.
