Frequently Asked Questions

Why is Income Protection important?

Income protection insurance is an insurance policy that provides a monthly benefit if you are unable to work due to accident or sickness and pays out until you return to work, the end of the policy term (usually your retirement age) or upon death, whichever is sooner.

How much life insurance will I need?

It’s tough deciding how much cover you should have and depends on your individual circumstances, lifestyle, expenditure and financial commitments. One of the main factors is also how much can you afford to pay in monthly premiums.

Should I buy life insurance when I am young?

Life insurance policies is always cheaper in annual premiums the younger you are when you buy the policy. Also if your health is good it will also translates to lower insurance costs and buying a policy younger also lowers the chances of having an illness like diabetes or heart disease.

Should the level of my life insurance change over time?

This depends on the type of insurance you’ve taken out. For example if you are covering your mortgage then the amount will decrease in line with the amount with the loan. The monthly premium you pay will be the same each month.

If you have opted for RPI your premium and amount paid out will be in line with this each year. Please note that some insurers will only offer this for the first few years and if you decline it each year, it will no longer be available for you.

When I die, will my family have to pay any tax on the life insurance payout?

The payout is not subject to any taxes but if you have any Inheritance or if the payout forms part of your estate it may be beneficial to place your policy in trust. Before you do this, you need to speak to an adviser.
