The concept of whole life insurance is easy to understand. It is a life insurance policy that provides the insured protection for his or her lifetime. The policy is paid out when he dies.

As long as the buyer pays the premiums, he will receive the guaranteed death benefit. Whether he dies old or young, of accident or illness, the life insurance company will pay a lump sum of money to the beneficiary. The amount depends on how much cover he purchased in his policy. If it was $100,000 the beneficiary will receive a one lump sum of $100,000 upon the death of the insured.

A whole life insurance policy has an ever-increasing cash value. This cash value increases each year as interest accrues to the policy. If the policy holder wants to surrender the policy and take the cash he is entitled to do so, but he will forfeit the life cover of the policy and is normally advised not to do this. The policy holder can also borrow against the policy. In this case he remains insured, but he must repay the loan. The cash value taken out is tax-free, and in some countries the premium paid per annum is tax deductible.

The buyer can add an additional premium rider to his policy which states that should he become disabled, after six months of disability the life insurance company will pay the premiums for him for the rest of his life.

Another benefit of whole life insurance is accidental benefit. The buyer can purchase an additional accidental policy, should he become partially or totally disabled, the insurance company will compensate the insured a percentage of payment as specified in the policy.
