Amount At Risk
- difference between the face value of a permanent life insurance policy and its accrued cash value. The pure cost of protection is based on this difference. For example, if the face value of a lifeinsurance policy is $100,000 and the cash value is $80,000 then the net amount at risk is $20,000. From the Internal Revenue Service perspective, a corridor of protection or net amount of risk must beapparent in a life insurance policy if the policy is to retain its tax advantaged treatment.
- in property and liability insurance, the lesser of the policy limit or the maximum possible loss to the insured.
