Helping you protect your family
Losing a loved one is emotionally devastating, but it can also place significant financial pressure on those left behind. Without a regular income, everyday expenses such as mortgage repayments, utility bills, childcare costs and household living expenses can quickly become difficult to manage.
At Keynote Mortgage Solutions, we’ll help you understand whether Family Income Benefit (FIB) is the right type of protection for your family. We’ll explain how it works, compare suitable policies and recommend cover that’s tailored to your circumstances, helping ensure your loved ones have the financial support they need if you’re no longer there to provide it.
Please note for these insurance products, terms and conditions apply. This information is a summary only.
You will receive a full policy document upon application. This policy will set out the terms, conditions and limitations of cover provided under the plan.
As with all insurance policies, conditions and exclusions will apply.
The cost of this insurance depends on several factors, such as your age, where you live and your occupation. As a result, the cost you will pay is based on your own circumstances.
Understanding Family Income Benefit.
Family Income Benefit (FIB) is a type of life insurance that provides your loved ones with regular tax-free monthly payments if you pass away during the term of the policy. Rather than paying a single lump sum, the policy is designed to replace part of your income, helping your family continue covering their everyday living expenses.
The payments continue until the end of the policy term you selected when taking out the cover. For example, many parents choose a policy that lasts until their youngest child reaches adulthood or becomes financially independent, providing valuable ongoing financial support during the years it’s needed most.
FIB can help cover essential costs such as mortgage repayments, household bills, childcare, education expenses and day-to-day living costs. Because the payments are made monthly, many families find it easier to manage their finances and maintain their usual standard of living following the loss of an income.
FIB pays out if you pass away during the policy term. Once a successful claim has been made, your chosen beneficiaries begin receiving regular tax-free monthly payments, helping replace the income your family has lost and providing valuable financial support.
FIB continues paying your beneficiaries until the agreed end date of the policy. You choose this when arranging your cover, allowing you to align the policy with important milestones, such as your children reaching adulthood or your mortgage being repaid.
Who family income benefit is for?
FIB can be a valuable form of protection for anyone whose loved ones rely on their income to maintain their lifestyle. If your family would struggle financially without your earnings, this type of cover can provide reassurance that they’ll continue receiving regular financial support should the worst happen.
It’s particularly popular with parents who want to protect their children’s future, homeowners with outstanding mortgage commitments and couples who share household expenses. It can also benefit single parents, self-employed individuals and anyone with financial dependants who would be affected by the loss of their income.
Rather than leaving your family to manage a large lump sum, FIB provides ongoing monthly payments that can help cover everyday living costs over a number of years. This can make budgeting easier and provide greater financial stability during an already difficult time.
How family income benefit Works.
When you take out a FIB policy, you’ll choose how much monthly income you want your family to receive and how long you’d like the policy to last. Many people align the policy term with significant milestones, such as their children reaching adulthood or their mortgage being fully repaid.
If you pass away during the policy term, your insurer will begin paying your chosen beneficiaries a regular tax-free monthly income. These payments continue until the agreed end date of the policy, helping replace the income your family has lost and allowing them to continue meeting their financial commitments.
Because the policy is designed to provide an ongoing income rather than a one-off payment, many families find it easier to manage household finances, maintain their standard of living and continue paying for essential expenses such as mortgage repayments, utility bills, childcare and education costs.
At Keynote Mortgage Solutions, we’ll explain how different policies work, compare cover from a range of insurers and help you find a solution that’s appropriate for your family’s future.
Unlike traditional life insurance, FIB doesn’t usually pay one large lump sum. Instead, it provides regular tax-free monthly payments, helping your family replace your income and manage everyday living expenses with greater financial confidence.
Understanding The Cost.
The cost of Family Income Benefit (FIB) varies from person to person, with insurers considering several factors when calculating your monthly premium. Your age is one of the biggest influences, as younger applicants are generally considered lower risk and can often secure more competitive premiums.
Your overall health, medical history, smoking status and occupation may also affect the cost of your policy. Some occupations or hobbies that carry a higher level of risk could result in higher premiums, while existing medical conditions may influence the cover available. The amount of monthly income you choose, together with the length of the policy term, will also impact the overall cost. Higher levels of cover or policies lasting for longer typically result in higher monthly premiums.
Our advisers will compare policies from a wide range of insurers to help you find FIB that offers the right level of protection while remaining affordable for your budget.
Comparing your options
Although FIB is a type of life insurance, it works differently to a traditional life insurance policy.
Traditional life insurance usually pays a single lump sum if you pass away during the policy term. This can be used to repay a mortgage, clear outstanding debts or provide financial security in whatever way your loved ones choose.
FIB, on the other hand, is designed to replace your income. Instead of one large payment, your beneficiaries receive regular tax-free monthly payments until the policy reaches its chosen end date. This can help your family continue paying everyday expenses and make managing household finances much easier.
For many families, the right solution isn’t choosing one over the other. FIB and traditional life insurance can often work together as part of a wider financial protection plan, providing both immediate financial support and a long-term replacement for lost income.
