Compare your income protection insurance

Not all forms of income protection insurance are the same.

When it comes to protecting your assets and your family, you want to make the best choices.

There are lots of things to weigh up, so let’s start with the basics. When it comes to choosing income protection insurance, or deciding whether to keep the policy you already have, the most important things to think about are:

  1. How much can I afford to pay in premiums?

  2. How much will I need each week to live on?

It can be tempting to go for a cheap option, and whilst lower premiums are attractive - chances are you’ll get what you pay for. The end result may be a shortfall in funds when you can least afford it. You could also end up with fewer inclusions and situations being covered, a much smaller payout, or a shorter period of cover before your payments are cut off.

When it comes to income insurance a little bit of planning and research can go a long way.

Which Income Protection Insurance is for me?

Carefully check the terms and conditions on policies, and also the way the key terms of each policy are defined. Sometimes the really important bits – such as exclusions – are buried in the fine print. The first things to look at when you’re comparing income protection insurance, however, are the basics:
