What is the earliest age at which a term plan can be bought?
Most term plans can be bought as soon as the person reaches 18 years of age. So as soon as a person becomes financially independent, which sometimes happens as early as age 21, the person should buy a term plan.
For how long should a term plan be taken?
A term life insurance should ideally be taken till the time the policyholder has financial responsibilities. Thus, it can again be seen that buying a term plan early on in life makes sense. Let us take a look at the example below.
25-year-old banker Kumar buys a term plan. He has a wife and a 1 year old son. He buys the term plan for 25 years as by then he expects his son to become economically independent and his financial responsibilities to end. His brother, Suresh, who is 35 years old, buys the same plan. However it doesn’t make much sense for Suresh to buy such a plan as his only daughter is already 12 years old and his financial responsibilities are expected to end in the next 15 years.
So as we can see from the example above, a term plan should be bought till the time the policyholder has dependent family members. Since the term plan doesn’t have a return component, it makes no sense to continue with the policy for a longer than required time period.
