Income Protection

Understanding Income Protection in Ireland

Your income is your most valuable asset. Without it, paying bills, maintaining your lifestyle, or saving for the future becomes difficult. That’s why income protection is one of the most important forms of financial cover you can have.

Income protection helps secure your lifestyle if illness or injury keeps you from working.

It’s smart, responsible, and essential peace of mind.

What Is Income Protection?

Income Protection is often the most overlooked yet most important protection, replacing your salary if illness or injury stops you from working. Unlike statutory benefits which are minimal, income protection pays up to 75% of your gross income until you recover or reach retirement age, protecting your standard of living and ability to meet ongoing financial commitments. For self-employed professionals and business owners, this is particularly critical as there's no employer sick pay safety net. We structure policies with appropriate deferred periods to balance cost with coverage, ensure definitions of incapacity suit your occupation, and confirm the policy will actually pay out in realistic claim scenarios rather than just looking good on paper.

Who Should Consider It?

1.
Employees

Those without long-term sick pay benefits

2.
The self-employed

Self-employed individuals who rely solely on their own ability to earn

3.
High earners

Individuals who may struggle to maintain their lifestyle on social welfare alone

Tax Relief Benefit

One major advantage in Ireland is tax relief on premiums at your marginal rate (20% or 40%), making it a highly tax-efficient protection product.
