Life insurance is a written agreement between the insurance company and the policyholder, in which the insurance company will pay a certain amount of money to the insured, such as death, disability or being unproductive resulting in loss of job.

We can find several types of life insurance offered by insurance companies to the public, which have different benefits and durations. So before buying life insurance you should understand the types of life insurance products. Here are some types of life insurance that are generally provided by insurance companies, including:

1. Term Life Insurance
This term life insurance applies if the insured dies within a certain time, but if the insured still remains after the specified time period, then the policyholder has the right to continue/extend life insurance coverage.

2. Whole Life Insurance
This life insurance provides coverage for life, but there are also insurance products that only provide coverage until the policyholder is 100 years old.

3. Endowment Insurance
In general, this type of life insurance endowment insurance is equipped with a savings feature, so premium payments by the insured will be partially allocated to insurance benefits and some will be allocated to a savings account. If the insured is still alive until the end of the policy, then all the sum insured can be disbursed.

4. Unit linked insurance
Unit linked life insurance is a combination of life insurance and investment instruments, so that the insured will benefit from insurance protection and also get returns from the investment. The amount of premium money deposited with the insurance company will be allocated to insurance and investment premiums which will be managed by the investment manager.

The 4 types of life insurance policies include:
Term insurance
Whole life insurance
Endowment insurance
ULIPs (Unit Linked Insurance Plans)

The most fundamental kind of insurance, term insurance offers full life coverage for a predetermined period of time. As the name implies, whole life insurance offers protection for the policyholder's whole lifetime. ULIPs offer insurance and investment choices, whereas endowment insurance integrates insurance and savings. Term insurance plans typically have the lowest premiums and offer the greatest coverage for the money. Entire life insurance policies give permanent protection and may accrue financial value over time. In contrast to ULIPs, which offer flexibility and a wider range of investment possibilities, endowment policies can be utilized as a vehicle for long-term savings and investments.

Term Life Insurance is one of the most common and straightforward types of life insurance. It provides coverage for a specific period, typically ranging from 10 to 30 years. If the policyholder passes away during the term, their beneficiaries receive a death benefit. Term life insurance is often more affordable than other types of policies, making it an attractive option for those looking for basic coverage. Whole Life Insurance, offers lifelong coverage with a guaranteed death benefit.
