Life Assurance

You can pay monthly premiums towards different types of life insurance (or assurance) policies. Various types exist and you should perhaps find out about these if you haven't done so already.
All policies calculate the premiums by using a table similar to the mortgage table.
The table shows the monthly premium required per £1,000 assured.
The sum assured is guaranteed, even if you die having paid only one premium (suicides excluded).
An important feature of all this is that all the interest gained is tax free.
