How Much Life Insurance Do I Need?
There's no doubt that Life insurance provides a sense of
financial security. "If all else fails," you think, "at least I'm
covered." But determining the amount of Life insurance you
need depends on a number of variables: your marital status,
current income, (projected) future income, number of
dependents, value of your assets, and your preferred lifestyle in
general.

A common rule of thumb is that your Life insurance benefit
should equal 5-10 times your current income. But there's no
one answer: if you're older, and your mortgage is paid off, you
may not need as much Life insurance as a new homeowner.
On the other hand, if you're single and have no children, you
may not need a policy in addition to the one available at your job.

Keep in mind that until that Life insurance benefit is paid out,
you are paying a monthly premium. That's why it's important to
research your options and
contact our agency to help you
determine the best policy options for your situation. Farmers®
offers a wide variety of term and permanent Life insurance
coverage, with a range of premium levels to choose from.

Products and features may not be available in all states and
may vary by state.
