Singapore Mortgage Term Plan Comparison_Q2 2022

On this page, we show the various Singapore Mortgage Term insurance plans premium rate comparisons as of Q2 2022.

The main difference between Mortgage Term Insurance and normal Level Term Insurance is that Mortgage Term insurance plan usually comes with decreasing/reducing sum assured over the policy term. 

The rate of the decrease can be set to correspond to the actual decreasing balance loan amount over the years. In this way, the remaining sum assured is always about the same as the remaining balance loan amount. 

And, Mortgage Term Insurance premium payment term usually ends 2-3 years before the policy term ends. This is designed to have the policyholder finish paying the premium before the remaining sum assured diminishes to an insignificant level (and thus, better off terminate the policy than continue paying).  

In some cases, buying the Level Term Insurance may be more worthwhile than the Mortgage Term Insurance. Please refer to the comparison tables 3 & 4 below.
