Life is unpredictable – an unexpected illness or injury could leave you unable to work for months or even years. This is where income protection insurance becomes vital, providing a safety net when you need it most.
What Is Income Protection?
Income protection insurance will pay your salary if you’re unable to work due to illness or injury, and unlike a lump-sum payout, it provides regular monthly payments until you’re fit to return to work or the policy term ends.
Why Is Income Protection Important?
For the majority of us, our monthly salary is our main income. If you’re suddenly unable to work, how would you cover your mortgage, or bills? Income protection insurance ensures you can maintain your lifestyle and meet essential expenses, even if you’re sick or injured and unable to work.
How It Protects You During Injury
If you’re injured or seriously ill, income protection provides financial stability during your recovery. Whether you need a few months or longer off work, it covers your essential costs like housing, utilities, and shopping, allowing you to focus on getting better and back to work.
Who Needs Income Protection?
Anyone who relies on their income should consider it, especially:
- Sole breadwinners
- Self-employed workers without access to sick pay
- Those in physically demanding jobs where injuries are more likely to occur.
Key Benefits of Income Protection
- Financial security: Prevents you from using up savings or going into debt.
- Peace of mind: Alleviates stress by covering your day to day living costs.
- Customisable coverage: Flexible options to fit your needs.
For just a small monthly payment, income protection insurance is the only way to safeguard your financial future and ensure life stays on track, even when the unexpected happens.
