When should I consider an income protection policy?
If you have any financial commitments, ask yourself these 2 questions…
“How much do you get paid if I am off work? Is it enough to cover my financial commitments to retirement?”
If the answer is no, then income protection insurance could be the answer to covering your financial risk gap. Even if you receive sick pay, this is likely to stop at some point.
Having an income protection policy that starts when your income stops, will mean you are aren’t leaving yourself financially vulnerable, even if you were unable to work again for the long-term.
Another ideal time to consider your income protection needs is a major lifestyle change, for example…
Buying a house
Becoming self-employed
The birth of a child
Change to job or your salary
When might Income Protection insurance be right for you?
Following a review of the monthly out-goings of a family of 4 in the East of England, UK, it cost just over £2,500 a month to cover common living expenses, including mortgage payments?
Unless you have savings or other means of financial support, it can be difficult to keep up with essential outgoings if you are unable to work. Statutory Sick Pay (SSP) and company sickness policies could cover you in the short term, but income protection provides long-term financial support to help you with mortgage/rent payments, household bills and other living costs.
Self-employed people don’t have the (short-term) luxury of an employer sick pay scheme, and they are not entitled to SSP. So, if you’re self-employed, income protection can act as a financial safety net, aiming to protect your livelihood and income.
