What Is Income Protection & Who Is It For?

Understand how a dedicated safety net secures your lifestyle and protects your loved ones when you cannot work.

Regular Monthly Income vs. Lump Sum

Unlike traditional life insurance or critical illness policies that pay out a single lump sum, Income Protection is built to mirror your normal salary.

It provides a continuous, tax-free monthly payment covering up to 60% of your gross income. This ensuring you can confidently pay mortgage payments, rent, utilities, and daily groceries without exhausting your hard-earned savings.

Who Is It For?

First-Time Buyers — Secure your new property commitment early
Homeowners — Ensure your mortgage is covered, whatever happens
Self-Employed — Build a private safety net without employer sick pay
Families — Shield your household from losing its primary income source
Professionals — Protect career progression and your standard of living

The Benefits Of Income Protection

Protect Your Monthly Income

Ensures you receive a regular, tax-free monthly payout to cover essential living costs, mortgages, and bills if you are unable to work due to illness.

Reduce Financial Stress

Focus completely on your recovery and health without the looming anxiety of depleting your hard-earned personal savings.

Choose Flexible Waiting Periods

Tailor your policy’s waiting period to align seamlessly with your employer’s sick pay scheme, optimizing your overall premium cost.

Support Beyond Financial Payments

Many quality plans include valuable extra features like career rehabilitation, counseling, and back-to-work support programs to help you recover on all levels.

Cover That Can Adapt

Easily scale your coverage levels and policy details as your salary grows or your lifestyle needs transform over time.

SECURE YOUR INCOME

Frequently Asked Questions

What does income protection insurance cover?

Income protection insurance covers a portion of your lost earnings (typically 50% to 70%) if you are unable to work due to an illness, injury, or accident. It provides regular monthly payments until you can return to work or reach retirement age.

Does income protection cover redundancy?

Standard income protection policies do not cover voluntary redundancy or unemployment. They are designed for medical inability to work. However, some specific short-term policies may offer optional redundancy add-ons.

Can self-employed people get income protection?

Yes, income protection is highly recommended for self-employed individuals who do not have employer sick pay. Your cover is usually calculated based on your net profit or share of pre-tax profit.

When should I arrange income protection?

It is best to arrange income protection when you are healthy, as premiums are lower and you won’t have exclusions for pre-existing medical conditions. Key milestones like buying a home or starting a family are common times to set up cover.

Can I combine income protection with life insurance?

Yes, many providers allow you to package income protection alongside life insurance and critical illness cover. This often simplifies your premiums and ensures comprehensive protection for your family.

Is income protection worth it?

If you rely on your monthly income to pay your mortgage, rent, or essential bills, income protection is highly valuable. It offers peace of mind that your financial obligations are met even if your health fails.

How much does income protection cost?

The cost depends on factors like your age, health, occupation, deferred period, and the amount of income you want to cover. Policies can be tailored to match your specific monthly budget.

I can’t thank Dwight enough for his support, patience, and professionalism throughout my home-buying journey. From the very beginning, he took the time to get to know me and made the whole experience feel personal. Dwight was always quick to respond to emails and happy to talk me through any questions I had, no matter how big or small.
