Life insurance can help address income, housing, education, final expenses, and other goals. Explore traditional term, return of premium term, whole life, and Indexed Universal Life with our team.
Term life
We offer both traditional term and return of premium term options. Talk with our team about the coverage period, premium costs, and the terms of any return of premium benefit. Renewal and conversion options depend on the policy.
Whole life
A type of permanent coverage that can provide lifelong protection while the policy remains in force and may build cash value. Costs and features are contract-specific.
Indexed Universal Life
Ask our team about Indexed Universal Life (IUL), including its coverage features, funding requirements, costs, and how the policy's index-linked interest crediting works. We'll help you review the policy details and tradeoffs.

Flexible coverage for different stages of life
There is no single life insurance policy that is right for every family. Through Farmers New World Life, we can help eligible customers explore different approaches depending on their budget, protection period and long-term goals.
Term life can provide straightforward protection for a defined period and is often used for income replacement, mortgages and family obligations.
Return of premium term may provide an option for eligible customers who want term protection with a potential return-of-premium benefit when specific policy requirements are satisfied.
Whole life provides permanent coverage while policy requirements are met and may accumulate cash value.
Indexed Universal Life (IUL) combines permanent life insurance with flexible policy features and index-linked interest-crediting potential, subject to the policy's charges, limits, funding requirements and guarantees.
Our job is to explain the differences and help you determine which available design fits what you are trying to accomplish—not simply sell everyone the same type of policy.
How much life insurance do I need?
Use our DIME method to estimate a starting point: Debt + Income + Mortgage + Everything Else.
D Debt
Car loans, credit cards, personal loans and other debt you would want taken care of.
I Income
How many years of income would you want your family to receive? We like to start with at least 3 years; some approaches consider longer periods.
M Mortgage
Include the remaining mortgage balance if you want your family to have the option to pay off the house.
E Everything Else
College expenses, rainy-day fund, final expenses, future goals and other money you want available for your family.
This calculator is an educational starting point, not an individualized financial recommendation. Existing life insurance, savings, assets, taxes, inflation and other circumstances may affect the amount appropriate for your family. Coverage is subject to eligibility and underwriting.
Where should I begin?
Think about who depends on your income, your debts, your long-term goals, and any coverage you already have. We'll help you compare available policy designs and explain the tradeoffs. Underwriting and eligibility apply.
Life Insurance questions
How do term and permanent life insurance differ?
Term life covers a specified period. Permanent policies are designed for longer-term protection while policy requirements are met and may build cash value. Premiums, guarantees and funding requirements differ, so compare the actual contracts.
Is a return of premium or indexed universal life benefit guaranteed?
Benefits depend on the contract and its conditions. Ask which premiums qualify for a refund and what happens if coverage ends early. For IUL, review charges, crediting limits, funding needs and which illustration values are guaranteed.
