How Much Does Income Protection Insurance Cost?

The cost of income protection varies depending on your age, job, income, health, and how long you’d like the cover to pay out. Generally, the higher the benefit and longer the payout period, the more you’ll pay each month.

You can tailor your policy to suit your budget – for example, choosing a shorter benefit period or longer waiting time before payments start can reduce the premium.

Every insurer prices policies differently, so it’s worth comparing options. We’ll explain how each choice affects cost and help you find the right balance between cover and affordability.

Common questions we’re asked about critical illness cover and protecting your mortgage

It pays you a monthly income if you’re unable to work because of illness or injury. The payments continue until you return to work or your benefit period ends – helping you keep up with everyday expenses.

Most policies cover between 50% and 70% of your gross income. You can choose a level that fits your budget and ensures your key outgoings are covered while you recover.

Each policy includes a “deferred period” – the waiting time before payments begin (often 4, 8, 13, or 26 weeks). The longer you choose to wait, the lower your monthly premium tends to be.

Short-term policies usually pay out for 1–2 years per claim, while long-term cover continues until you can work again or reach retirement age. We’ll explain both options and help you decide what suits you best.

If your employer provides only limited sick pay, income protection can take over when that ends – ensuring your bills and mortgage are still covered until you’re fit to work.
