The paid up value of your life insurance is the point at which no further premiums have to be paid. It can occur either by paying all of the premiums in a lump sum or by paying all of the premiums due in instalments.

The precise value of a paid up policy is a fanction of the face amount of the policy, less policy loans or accrued earnings, if applicable.

A life insurance policy may have cash value if it is a "whole life insurance policy". This is a kind of life insurance, distinguished from "term" life insurance, that accumulates cash value for the period that it is in force and premiums are paid. Each premium paid goes to pay the cost of "indemnity" (the death benefit), the administrative costs incurred by the insurer, with all or a portion of the remainder going into the cash value. The cash value element of the policy is SOMEWHAT like a savings account within the policy. It grows slowly at first but faster as the policy matures. When a sufficient amount of cash value has accumulated, policy loans from the cash value are usually allowed per the terms of the policy. The loans bear interest at a rate provided for by the policy. Term life insurance does not accumulate cash value.

What would your 2500 life policy by worth if you got it in 1952?

If the policy was a term life insurance policy and presuming that you paid all premiums and the policy did not lapse for non-payment, it would be considered to be "fully paid-up". Therefore, upon the insured's death, the insurance company would be obliged to pay the face value of the policy. If the policy was a "whole life insurance policy", cash value would probably have accumulated so it may have more value ($2500 plus the accumulated cash value). A definitive answer cannot be given without reviewing the policy.

What type of policy is not permanent life insurance?

Of the various types of life insurance that exist, "term" life insurance is not permanent. This is because it remains in force only as long as premiums are paid. In contrast, "whole life insurance" is frequently also referred to as "permanent insurance" That is because it accumulates cash value, which is sort of a saving account built into the policy. Therefore, once cash value reached a certain amount, in theory, no further premiums have to be paid because the policy can be maintained based upon the cash value.
