What Is The Cash Value Of My Life Insurance?
4330 POINTSview profileJerry Vanderzanden, CLU, ChFCCo-Founder, Coastal Financial Partners Group, CaliforniaThe cash value is the amount the insurance company would pay you today, after any surrender charges or loan payoffs, if you canceled your coverage. You can contact the servicing agent or the life insurance company direct requesting the current values of the policy. They should also be able to tell you the policy's basis (premiums paid). Any cash value received over basis is gain and subject to income tax.Answered on May 22, 2013flag this answer

If you have any form of "permanent" life insurance you should have your agent review your policy with you annually to see exactly where the policy stands compared with the projections given in the illustration at the time of buying the policy. You should be receiving an annual report, which should tell you what your current cash value is, but if you haven't received this report you can request an "in force illustration" and that will give you your up to date figures.Answered on September 2, 2015flag this answer
