Maybe this will get me the number of premiums paid:

	SELECT NumberMonthsToAdd = SUM(
		CASE [PremiumMode] 
			 WHEN 'Monthly' THEN NumberOfPremiums * 1
			 WHEN 'Quarterly' THEN NumberOfPremiums * 3
			 WHEN 'Semi-Annually' THEN NumberOfPremiums * 6
			 WHEN 'Annually' THEN NumberOfPremiums * 12
			 ELSE 0
		END )
	FROM [dbo].[ReceiptDetails]

This way I don't need to loop through to get the result. What do you think?
