Simply put, term life insurance provides protection for a specific, limited amount of time during which monthly payments are required. In the event of your death during the term of your policy, your beneficiary can file a claim to receive the predetermined payout. With that, your beneficiary may have enough funds to pay off a mortgage, have the means to support your family in your absence, or build savings.

Visit Ladder's calculator to understand your needs. Most people need far more than 1-2x salary. Not only is life insurance through an employer often not enough, it also generally doesn't move with you if you change jobs.
