Term life insurance provides long-term peace of mind

A term life insurance policy can help secure your family's financial future if you pass away unexpectedly. Your death benefit can cover lost income, outstanding debt, mortgage payments, education, and day-to-day living expenses.

Who can benefit from a 15-year term life policy?

Securing a term life insurance policy is a smart, affordable way to protect your family. Ethos offers term lengths from 10 to 30 years. However, a 15-year term life policy may be an ideal option for you if:

You have school-age children

Suppose you have children in elementary or middle school. In that case, a 15-year term life insurance policy could provide coverage through their college years and until they are no longer financially dependent on you.

You’re paying off a mortgage

15-year term insurance is appropriate for someone who plans to pay off their home mortgage within this timeframe. Your term life policy could help your loved ones cover mortgage payments if the unexpected happens.

You’re nearing retirement

Are you planning to retire within the next 15 years? In that case, a 15-year term life insurance policy could give you extra peace of mind while you're still working or getting close to financial independence.

How much coverage do you need?

The amount of life insurance you need depends on your personal and financial circumstances. To get a rough estimate, simply multiply your annual salary by ten. Use this as your starting point when considering what you need.

For a more in-depth calculation, use the DIME formula (debt + income + mortgage + education). Adding these four factors together can help you determine your ideal coverage amount.

Debt: The total of your current debts (excluding your mortgage) plus your estimated final expenses
Income: Your current annual income multiplied by the number of years that you estimate your family would need support
Mortgage: The amount remaining on your mortgage
Education: An estimate of tuition costs for your children
