What is income protection?
- Income protection cover is a lifestyle cover which provides monthly income to the insured policyholder after a chosen deferred period.
- The monthly pay out is based on a percentage of your salary, typically 65%, or if you are self-employed based on a percentage of salary and dividends.
- The policy pays out until the policyholder are able to return to work and so policies can pay out until retirement age.
