How much though? Enough to support your wife and kids if you die tonight?
6x salary. It's plenty. I also got supplemental for her if something happens. That's only 40k though and I would use for burial and daycare for our 3-month-old.

ETA: Company pays for 2x salary for Basic life and AD&D. The rest I pay for, but it's very cheap.

Yea, I'm going to go ahead and agree that you will need more on her

6x your salary may be enough, I don't know. It depends a lot on what your objectives are for the insurance.

Did the agent you met with do a death benefit calculation?

Find out if the company tax deducts the premiums they pay here. If they do, the benefit could be taxable to your wife, which I'm sure she would be none to pleased about.

AD&D

waste of money by the company if you ask me
