Life insurance, explained in 3 minutes

If something happened to you tomorrow, would they be okay?

Keep scrolling. We'll show you why life insurance matters, clear up the myths that stop most people from getting it, and walk you through four ways Farmers® can protect your family.

01 Why it matters

Life keeps sending the bills.

The mortgage is still due on the first.
The car payment doesn't stop.
Groceries. Daycare. Braces. College.
Even a simple funeral can cost thousands.
Life insurance makes sure the money is still there — even when you aren't.
You're not alone

Millions of families are underprotected — and don't know it.

48%
of U.S. adults don't own any life insurance at all.

03 How much is enough?

Let's find your number.

Slide the bars. It's the same back-of-the-napkin math an agent starts with: replace your income for a while, clear the debts, cover what's ahead.

What you earn in a year before taxes — the paycheck your family would lose.
How long your family would need your paycheck replaced — for example, until your youngest finishes school or your partner retires.
What you still owe on your home, cars, credit cards and loans — so your family isn't stuck paying it.
Money you'd want set aside for your kids' college or trade school. Leave it at $0 if it doesn't apply.
The bills that come at the end of life — a funeral, burial or cremation, and any last medical bills.
Life insurance you already have (including through work), plus money set aside that your family could use.

Option 1 · Term Life

The most protection for the lowest price.

Term life covers you for a set number of years — the years your family depends on you most. If you pass away during that time, the people you choose receive the death benefit.

  • Choose a 10, 15, 20 or 30-year level premium period — your premium stays the same for that whole stretch.
  • Most applicants qualify for automatic underwriting — no medical exam, and a same-day policy decision.2 Issuance may depend on your answers to the application's health questions.
  • Need lifetime coverage later? You can convert all or part of it to Farmers Whole Life or Index Universal Life if your contract includes a conversion option.3
Could start as low as
$15/month1

For a healthy, young adult: Male, age 35, $100,000 face amount, non-nicotine, Platinum, monthly EFT premium, 10-year level premium period. Premiums are subject to change after the initial level premium period. Your premium depends on underwriting approval — someone with a more complicated health history could pay more.


A great fit for

Covering a mortgage or other big debts
Replacing your income until the kids are grown

Option 2 · Return of Premium Term

Term protection — with money back if you outlive it.

Return of Premium Term protects your family for the term, just like term life. The difference: if you're still living at the end of the level premium period and you've kept the policy active the whole time, up to 90% of the premiums you paid comes back to you.4

  • Your family is protected with a death benefit for the entire term.
  • Outlive the term with the policy active → up to 90% of premiums paid is returned.4
  • Premiums are higher than standard term — you're paying for that return feature.
  • If the policy ends early, only its cash surrender value is paid.4

How it plays out

During the term
Family protected · level premium
If you pass away
Family receives the death benefit
If you outlive it
Up to 90% of premiums back

Illustration only. The return requires the policy to stay active for the full level premium period, and the 90% is reduced by fees, rider and unpaid premiums, ratings and loans.


A great fit for

People who want term coverage but hate the idea of "paying for nothing"
Steady budgeters who plan to keep the policy the full term
Option 3 · Farmers Whole Life

Coverage for life. A price that never goes up.

Whole life is permanent coverage. As long as you pay your premiums as the contract requires, it protects you for your whole life5 — and builds cash value along the way.

  • Lifetime coverage, guaranteed as long as premiums are paid per the contract.5
  • Your premium never goes up, and the death benefit is guaranteed by the contract.5
  • Cash value grows at a guaranteed rate, and you can access it through policy loans.6
  • At the company's discretion, your policy may receive additional credits each year — they are not guaranteed.

Choose how long you pay

10 years20 yearsTo age 65To age 100

With the shorter options, your payments finish early and your coverage stays in force.

A great fit for

People who want certainty: fixed price, lifetime coverage
Pairing with term — term for the big years, whole life for life
Option 4 · Farmers Index Universal Life

Lifelong coverage with growth potential.

Index Universal Life (IUL) is permanent coverage with flexibility. Part of what you pay builds cash value, and the interest credited to it can be linked to the performance of a market index — your cash value is not placed directly in the stock market.

  • Choose a Fixed Account and two index-linked accounts tied to the S&P 500® and the S&P® MARC 5% ER.
  • Each account has a floor and a guaranteed minimum rate. Other crediting terms apply and are not guaranteed.7
  • Flexible premiums and an adjustable death benefit that can change as your life does.
  • Cash value generally grows tax-deferred, and the death benefit is generally income-tax-free.8
  • Access cash value through loans or partial surrenders, which reduce cash value and the death benefit.6

How index crediting works

Index has a good year
Interest credited
Index is flat
Floor
Index has a bad year
Floor

Concept only — not a projection of results. Credited interest depends on index performance and the contract's crediting terms. Monthly policy charges come out of cash value, and the cost to keep the policy in force increases over time, so cash value can still go down and the policy may lapse if premiums aren't enough.7
