Income Protection

In the event that illness or injury hinders your ability to work in your current occupation or any other occupation, Income Protection Cover offers support by providing a monthly benefit. This benefit can be utilized for various purposes such as loan repayments, children’s education, daily living expenses, and more. This coverage aims to provide peace of mind, allowing you to concentrate on what matters most – your health and recovery.

Who needs income insurance?

Individuals with real estate and loans, spanning various age groups, engaging in voluntary tax declaration income may have continuous cash flow and protection needs in the event of disability or illness preventing them from working:

  1. Continuous Monthly Income and Pension Contribution Payout: Desire for a sustained monthly income and pension contributions to cover necessary expenses.

  2. Better Recovery Environment, Support, and Benefits for Returning to Work: Want a conducive recovery environment, along with support and benefits for a smooth return to work.

How to Customize Income Protection Policy?

Calculate your monthly payment

In general, income insurance can cover up to 70% of your active tax filing income. For example, if your annual income is $100,000, your monthly payout is $100,000X70%/12=$5,8333.

Choose waiting period and benefit period

Waiting Period: The waiting period denotes the duration before you commence receiving monthly benefits following an accident. It's akin to considering how long you can sustain without income if you lose your job. Factors like unused sick leave, annual leave, savings, etc., come into play when choosing this option. Typically, a shorter waiting period correlates with a higher premium, while a longer waiting period corresponds to a lower premium. Earning Period: The earning period pertains to how long the insured can receive monthly payments after the waiting period elapses. The length of the benefit period directly influences the premium — a longer benefit period results in a higher premium, whereas a shorter benefit period leads to a lower premium. Options often include periods of two years, five years, until the age of 65, or 70.

Find the balance of protection

Tailor the coverage amount to fit within your affordable premium range. The concept is to invest in long-term comprehensive protection without compromising your quality of life. Strive for a balance between coverage and premiums, putting you in control of your wealth.

FAQ

f you answered Yes to the following questions, then you need it. 

  • Do you have active tax return income? (For example: annual salary of 100,000 Australian dollars) 
  • In the event that you cannot work due to an accident, illness/disability, will this affect your ability to earn money?
  • Do you need adequate back-up plans to provide the necessary cash flow protection?
  • Do you have responsibilities to pay off your home loan?
  • Do you want to build a wealth moat for those who depend on you (family or children)? 
  • Do you want to build a layer of leveraged protection for your property?
  • Do you want to feel more secure in your future work and life? 

Do not.

The coverage of income insurance is the percentage of the active tax declaration income caused by the inability to work due to illness or disability, up to 70%, and the monthly payment. 

In general, events not covered by income insurance include: 

    • Inability to work due to suicide or self-harm.
    • Crime-induced inability to work.
    • Unable to work due to war.
    • Pre-existing conditions cause disclaimer.
    • Normal pregnancy or childbirth.

Can. If you purchase income insurance under your personal name, you will receive tax reductions based on your personal tax rate.

For example: Your personal tax rate is as high as 47%, then when you get your personal tax refund, your income insurance premium can get a tax deduction discount of 47%. While obtaining income protection, you can also obtain tax discounts on premiums, killing two birds with one stone.

Under normal circumstances, Australian income insurance is not bound for many years, nor is it mandatory to spend how much. You can choose the premium you can pay according to your own situation, goals and needs.

There are many factors that affect premiums, including: sum insured, age, gender, premium structure, whether you smoke, whether you have existing health risks, etc.

In addition, you can customize the monthly compensation amount, as long as it does not exceed 70% of the active tax return income. The shorter the waiting period, the more expensive the premium, and the longer the waiting period, the cheaper the premium. The shorter the benefit period, the cheaper the premium, and the longer the benefit period, the more expensive the premium.

Yes. If you use your superannuation to buy income insurance, you will not be able to get personal tax credits when you get your tax refund.
