Life Insurance for Young Families

When you are raising young children, the question is simple: if your income disappeared, would your family be okay? Life insurance is one of the most direct ways to answer that, usually at its most affordable while you are young and healthy.

What this often looks like

  • One or two incomes supporting children at home
  • A mortgage and everyday costs that depend on both parents
  • Future goals like childcare and education

Worth thinking about

Cover the whole picture

Think about replacing income for the years children are home, plus the mortgage and future costs, minus savings and existing coverage.

Insure both parents

A stay-at-home parent's caregiving would be costly to replace, so both parents are usually worth covering.

Employer coverage is a start, not the finish

Group coverage is often limited and may end if you change jobs; a personal policy can fill the gap and stay with you.

Frequently asked questions

How much coverage do young families usually consider?

A common approach replaces income for the years children are home, plus the mortgage and future costs, minus savings and existing coverage. Our calculator helps you estimate a range.

Is term or permanent better for a young family?

Many young families start with term because it offers meaningful coverage at a manageable cost during the years it matters most. Permanent coverage can be added for lifelong goals.
