How Cash Value Is Calculated

The cash value shown is not a market projection. It is calculated from the guaranteed illustration values issued by US Alliance Life and Security Company (dated 02/06/2026). We start with the carrier's illustrated cash value for a $100,000 single premium, then scale it proportionally to the premium you enter. For example, a $150,000 premium multiplies every cash value by 1.5. If you select an age between the carrier's illustrated ages (50, 55, 60, 70, 75), the values are linearly interpolated between the two nearest illustrated ages. Interpolated results are estimates, not carrier-issued guarantees. Actual values depend on the issued policy and may be affected by loans, withdrawals, or surrender charges.

Definitions

Cash Value is the amount available to the insured upon surrender of the policy. Death Benefit is the amount payable upon death of the insured. Taxable Alternative illustrates the value of the original premium growing in a comparable taxable account, for reference only. Modified Endowment Contract (MEC) status means distributions and loans are taxable to the extent of gain and may be subject to a 10% penalty; the death benefit itself generally remains income-tax-free to beneficiaries.

Important

This tool illustrates guaranteed and non-guaranteed elements based on US Alliance Life and Security Company illustrations dated 02/06/2026 for Male, Non-Tobacco, Underwriting Class 1 applicants. Ages other than 50, 55, 60, 70, and 75 are mathematically interpolated between the two nearest illustrated ages and are estimates only — request a formal carrier illustration before presenting exact figures to a client. This illustration is not a contract and is not complete without all pages of the corresponding carrier illustration. Actual premiums and values may vary based on final underwriting.
