Decreasing Term

Definition


Decreasing Term is a form of term life insurance in which the amount of coverage gradually declines at set points—usually each year or on each policy anniversary—while premiums stay level for the chosen term. In Canada, it is most often selected to cover a liability that itself shrinks over time, such as the outstanding balance of a mortgage, credit line, or personal loan. The policy expires once the term ends or when the coverage amount reaches zero, and it does not accumulate cash value.
