Family income benefit helps protect your partner and children after you’re gone.
You can choose a bespoke level of annual cover and policy length. Your family will continue to receive a monthly, tax-free income each year of the policy.
This specialised protection policy helps take care of your family financially after you’ve passed away.
Don’t want the payment to be yearly? This benefit package pays a monthly benefit to your loved ones for as long as you’re covered.
For example, if you choose £20,000 worth of annual cover, your family will receive just over £1,666 a month for the policy term. You might set the term for 20 years and pass away after 5 years, meaning they will receive payments for 15 years.
You may wish to add critical illness cover as part of this policy, as this will replace the income of a critically ill person.
With life insurance and/or critical illness covering any mortgage balance, have peace of mind that family protection will provide a monthly payment to support your family and their lifestyle.
Once you’ve decided how much your family need to maintain their lifestyle, this will be incorporated into your policy.
Naturally, the higher the value, the higher your premiums will be.
If you pass away, your family may still choose between receiving a lump sum or a monthly benefit. This will depend on their circumstances at the time and will be completely their choice.
Family income benefits can also cover terminal illnesses and may be linked to the retail price index (RPI) meaning the benefits will increase with the cost of living.
