Income Protection Insurance is essential for anyone who relies on their income to live. Whether you’re employed, self-employed, or a contractor, this cover provides a regular tax-free monthly income if you’re unable to work due to illness or injury.

At Hay-House Financial Services, whether you’re based in Aberdeen, London, or anywhere across the UK, our expert team is here to support you. We help you stay financially secure — even when life takes an unexpected turn.

What Is Income Protection Insurance?

Income Protection Insurance is a policy designed to replace part of your income if you can’t work because of accident, sickness, or poor mental health. Unlike one-off payouts, it gives you ongoing financial support — helping to cover your mortgage, rent, bills, and everyday costs until you recover or reach the end of your policy.

You choose how long the policy pays out for and when payments begin. The result? Complete flexibility and peace of mind.

Who should consider Income Protection Insurance?

This type of cover is suitable for almost anyone who earns a living. It’s especially important if you:

  • Have limited sick pay through work
  • Are self-employed or a contractor
  • Have financial commitments like a mortgage or rent
  • Support dependents or a family
  • Don’t want to rely solely on government benefits

Statutory Sick Pay (SSP) in the UK is just £118.75/week (2025–26). That’s rarely enough to cover even basic expenses.

Key features of monthly Income Protection
  • Monthly tax-free payments (up to 60-70% of your gross salary)
  • Covers both mental and physical illnesses
  • Flexible deferred periods (when payments begin)
  • Choose short-term or long-term cover
  • Protects your lifestyle — not just your bills
  • Available for employed and self-employed individuals
Short-Term vs Long-Term Cover: which is right for you?

Short-Term Income Protection

Covers you for 1–2 years per claim. Ideal for temporary health issues.

  • Lower cost, still provides essential coverage

Long-Term Income Protection

Pays out until recovery, retirement, or the end of the policy.

  • Best for serious illness or long-term disability
  • Prevents being forced back to work before you’re ready
How much does Income Protection Insurance cost?

Several factors affect your premium:

  • Your age, job, and health
  • The percentage of income you want to replace
  • Your chosen deferred period
  • The length of benefit (e.g. 2 years or until retirement)

At Hay-House Financial Services, we help you balance cost and coverage. We’ll tailor your policy to suit your lifestyle, budget, and existing sick pay arrangements.
