Insuranceopedia Explains Life Insurance In Force
Calculating life insurance in force includes not only all of the policies sold but also the dividends distributed to its policyholders. It does not, however, include future payments and unpaid premiums.
To illustrate, if a company has sold $2,000,000 worth of policies and has given $100,000 as dividends, then its life insurance in force totals $2,100,000. Likewise, if a person has bought and paid life insurance polices worth $500,000, then that person’s life insurance in force is also $500,000.
