Give peace of mind knowing your family is financially protected
Common Questions
What is income protection insurance?
It pays a regular monthly income if illness or injury prevents you from working.
How much income does it cover?
Typically 50 to 70% of your gross income, depending on the provider.
Is it worth it if I already get sick pay?
Yes, employer sick pay is limited, often three to six months, and may not cover your full salary. Income protection can provide long-term cover until retirement age.
How long does it pay out for?
Until you return to work, reach retirement age, or the policy ends, whichever comes first. Ideal for long-term illness or injury.
What is a deferred period?
The time between stopping work and when the policy starts paying. You can usually choose a period that suits your needs.
Is income protection the same as sick pay?
No, sick pay is short-term and employer-provided. Income protection is a long-term insurance solution.
