Shareholders' Equity [Abstract]
Shareholders' Equity	Note 6 – Shareholders' Equity Stock Repurchase Program – The Board of Directors of UTG has authorized the repurchase of up to $14.5 million of UTG's common stock in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. Company Management has broad authority to operate the program, including the discretion of whether to purchase shares and the ability to suspend or terminate the program. Open market purchases are made based on the last available market price but may be limited. During the three month period ended March 31, 2018, the Company repurchased 24,526 shares through the stock repurchase program for $600,240. Through March 31, 2018, UTG has spent approximately $13.1 million in the acquisition of 1,113,710 shares under this program. During 2018, the Company issued 9,200 shares of stock to Management as compensation. These awards are determined at the discretion of the Board of Directors. Earnings Per Share Calculations Earnings per share are based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. For the three ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, diluted earnings per share were the same as basic earnings per share since the Company had no dilutive instruments outstanding.
