A cash value type of life insurance policy usually provides lifetime coverage. Also, there is an investment portion to the policy that builds cash value over time. You may be able to take a loan out from the policy, or even use the cash value to buy more life insurance protection. Term life insurance provides temporary life insurance protection for a specific period of time. Usually term life policies offer coverage for 1-30 years. many term life plans are issued for a period of 10, 15, 20, or 30 years of coverage. Term life insurance does not build cash value within the policy. Term life is considered "Pure Protection" because there is no investment portion, you pay for and receive only life insurance protection. Permanent life insurance usually costs up to 2-3 times more than term life insurance. Although term life is less expensive, the rates do increase when you are older. For instance, if you buy a 10 year term life insurance policy, and you outlive the policy term, it would cost you more to buy a new 10 year policy once your first policy expires.

What is the difference between face value and cash surrender value of life insurance?
Face value typically refers to the death benefit of the policy (i.e. how much your family would receive if you were to die). Cash surrender value is the amount of money that has accumulated (tax deferred) inside the policy and is the amount of money the owner would receive (before taxes) if s/he were to cancel the policy. Cash surrender value is different from plain old "cash value" or "accumulated value" in that most insurance policies have surrender charges for 10 to 20 years that reduce the total "cash value" or "accumulated value" down to the cash SURRENDER value.

What is cash value for a policy?
Cash value is a savings element of whole life insurance. It is independent of the benefit amount and its growth is based on how much you have paid into the policy. You can access this money in the form of a loan while still keeping the policy, or if you were to cancel the policy you would receive a check for the cash value. If you would like to know how much cash value is in your policy you can call your ins. company or check the "schedule page" of your policy where there is usually a breakdown of how cash value will accumulate over time (depending on the type of policy). It usually takes several years for cash value to begin accumulating on an average adult policy.
