Income Protection Insurance

When Would You Need Income Protection?

According to the ABI, over a million workers a year find themselves in need of income protection insurance. You are most likely to need it if you are self-employed or if your employer has no sick pay provision. Whether or not you have dependents and a mortgage, if you find yourself unable to pay the bills due to illness or injury, you will need income protection.

Pay Attention to What It Covers

Income protection insurance payouts are usually based on 50% to 70% of your earnings, and payments are tax-free. Generally, income protection policies pay out after a pre-agreed period has passed – this can range from anywhere between 1 to 12 months.
