Difference between level term and decreasing term
Level Term Cover is life insurance where the payout amount stays the same over the term of the policy. The monthly payments also stay the same over the term of the policy.
When a claim is paid, your family will get the amount of money you took the policy out for.
Decreasing Term Cover pays out a single amount that reduces over the term of the policy. Although payments stay the same over the term of the policy, how much you pay each month is typically less than for Level Term Cover. You could use it to help cover a repayment mortgage or any other loan that gradually gets repaid.
