Return of premium term life insurance, explained plainly.

Term life insurance that can refund part or all of your premiums if you outlive the term. See quotes from several insurance companies online, or talk it through with Wolf first.

Or call (619) 382-3810, Monday to Friday, 8:30am to 5pm Pacific.

What it is

Term coverage, with a possible refund at the end.

Return of premium is a feature of term life insurance. If you outlive the term and no death benefit was paid, it refunds part or all of the premiums you paid.

Like other term life insurance, it covers a set period of time, and the death benefit is paid only if the insured dies during the term.

Things to know

  • These policies tend to cost more because of the possible refund.
  • The refund can be part or all of the premiums, so it isn’t always a full refund. The policy states how it works.
  • If you live beyond the term you selected, no death benefit is payable.
  • Coverage, price and approval are decided by the insurance company.
