What is Family Income Benefit Insurance?

Family Income Benefit Insurance is a type of life insurance policy designed to provide regular income to your loved ones in the event of your death during the policy term. Instead of a lump sum payout, this insurance offers periodic payments, ensuring ongoing financial support for your family members.

How Does Family Income Benefit Life Insurance Work?

Family Income Benefit insurance works by providing a pre-determined level of income to your beneficiaries if you pass away during the policy term. This income continues for the remaining duration of the policy term, offering financial stability to your family and helping them cover living expenses, mortgage repayments, education costs, and other essential needs.

How Much Will Family Protection Insurance Cost?

The cost of Family Income Benefit Insurance varies depending on factors such as your age, health status, lifestyle, desired coverage amount, and policy term. Premiums are typically more affordable compared to traditional life insurance policies with lump sum payouts, making Family Income Benefit Insurance an attractive option for families on a budget.

We always recommend speaking to a mortgage and protection adviser to discuss your current circumstances and budgets to better understand the policy costs.

Who is Family Income Benefit For?

Family Income Benefit Insurance is suitable for anyone with dependents who rely on their income to maintain their standard of living. It is particularly beneficial for low-income families or those with significant financial obligations, offering a cost-effective way to ensure ongoing financial support for their loved ones in the event of their death.

Who Isn’t Family Income Benefit For?

While Family Income Benefit Insurance is valuable for many families, it may not be suitable for individuals without dependents or those who have sufficient savings or other financial assets to provide for their loved ones in the event of their death. Assessing your financial situation and family’s needs is essential in determining the suitability of Family Income Benefit Insurance for your circumstances.
