Frequently Asked Questions
How much life insurance do I need in Ontario?▼
A common guideline is 10-12x your annual income, but the right amount depends on your mortgage, debts, children's education costs, and your family's lifestyle. The Insurance Lab provides a personalized needs analysis to determine the right coverage amount for your Ontario family.
What's the difference between term and whole life insurance?▼
Term life insurance provides coverage for a set period (10, 20, or 30 years) at lower premiums. Whole life insurance covers you for your entire life and builds cash value over time. Term is ideal for temporary needs like mortgage protection, while whole life is better for estate planning and lifelong coverage.
Can I get life insurance if I have health conditions?▼
Yes, The Insurance Lab works with multiple life insurers serving Ontario, including those that specialize in high-risk or simplified issue policies. We can find life insurance options for clients with diabetes, heart conditions, and other health issues.
