Protect what matters most.
Life insurance helps protect your family in case anything were to happen to you. Even if you don't have kids, a mortgage, or other large expenses, insurance helps protect your loved ones to cover personal debts, medical bills, and funeral expenses.
Life insurance through employers may not be enough. Employer-sponsored policies typically cover 1-2x your annual salary, but many financial experts recommend having about 10x that.
Life insurance becomes more expensive as you age, so the sooner you buy it, the more affordable it will be. Applying today can help you lock in a low monthly rate. Some of the policies have level premiums, meaning what you pay today is what you pay 30 years from now.

Employer-sponsored policies typically offer coverage that is about 1-2X your annual salary, which is a fraction of the coverage you need. Financial experts recommend having coverage that is about 10X your salary, which is why many people buy individual term policies to supplement their coverage through work. Learn more
A common and easy way to come up with a coverage estimate is to multiply your annual income by 10. Another way is to calculate your long-term financial obligations and then subtract your assets. The remainder is the gap that life insurance needs to fill. It can be difficult to know what to include in your calculations, so we created a life insurance calculator to help you determine your coverage needs.
