Family Income Benefit is a type of life insurance policy. Similar to basic life insurance, it delivers peace of mind that your loved ones will still be able to cover monthly outgoings if something happens to you.

It differs from basic life insurance in that it can pay out a regular monthly income, rather than a lump sum. This may appeal to families with young children, particularly where one parent is the primary earner, as it provides a regular income, often with cheaper premiums than other life insurance policies.

For insurance business we offer products from a choice of insurers.

What do I need to think about?

Think about how much income your dependants will need and how long you want the cover to last. When doing so, consider possible future family living costs as well as your current outgoings. Often, people who take out family income benefit choose the policy term to run until their children are financially independent.

You’ll also need to consider the frequency of pay-outs – specifically, would you like your family to receive a regular monthly income or a lump sum?
