Income Replacement
Estimate the period and level of support a spouse, partner, children, or other dependents may need after an income loss.
Private family & income protection
Family Income Protection and Life Insurance.
What does the income protect? A thoughtful review looks beyond the mortgage to the household, people, goals, and time that income supports—alongside current savings, workplace benefits, and personal coverage.
Term and permanent coverage compared by purpose—not hype
Workplace and existing policies reviewed first
Health and underwriting expectations discussed realistically
Affordability and long-term policy sustainability prioritized
Start with the responsibility
Your Family Needs an Outcome, Not an Insurance Label.
The review begins by identifying who depends on the insured, which expenses or income needs would remain, how long those responsibilities may last, and what resources already exist.
Mortgage and Debt
Decide whether the objective is full payoff, temporary payment support, broader income replacement, or a combination.
Children and Dependents
Consider caregiving, education, household services, and the years during which others rely on the insured.
Workplace Coverage
Review benefit amount, portability, conversion, cost, and what happens if employment changes.
Long-Term Legacy
Explore permanent coverage only when a lifelong death benefit or other relevant feature supports a defined objective and sustainable budget.
Current Policy Review
Understand existing policy benefits, premium requirements, term dates, guarantees, riders, and potential replacement concerns.
Term life insurance
Temporary Protection for a Defined Time Horizon
Term coverage may be appropriate when the need is expected to decline or end, such as income-replacement years, a mortgage, children’s dependency period, or a temporary business obligation.
- Coverage for a specified term
- Potentially larger initial death benefit per premium dollar than permanent coverage
- Useful for temporary or declining responsibilities
- Renewal, conversion, and expiration terms should be understood
- Future cost and insurability should be considered
Permanent life insurance
Long-Term Protection When the Need Is Intended to Last
Permanent coverage may be considered for a lifelong death-benefit objective, final expenses, legacy, estate liquidity, long-term dependent needs, or a continuing business purpose.
- Coverage intended to remain in force subject to policy terms and required premiums
- Potential cash-value features depending on policy type
- Higher or longer premium commitment than many term options
- Guarantees and non-guaranteed elements must be explained separately
- Loans, withdrawals, charges, and policy performance can affect values and benefits
Permanent insurance—and indexed universal life specifically—is not automatically appropriate for every high-income client. A recommendation should follow the protection objective, time horizon, underwriting, budget, guarantees, policy mechanics, and alternatives.

Identify the Right Review Focus Before Discussing a Product
Use this short educational assessment to organize your existing protection, primary responsibility, timeline, and state.
Protection priorities assessment
About two minutes. No medical or financial-account details.
Step 1 of 5
This educational assessment is not an insurance application, quote, policy recommendation, tax conclusion, or guarantee of eligibility or coverage. Final options depend on a complete review and carrier underwriting.
High-income professionals
A Higher Income Can Create a Larger Dependency—but Not a Predetermined Product Answer.
A review may consider lifestyle continuity, multiple years of income, debt, children, business interests, work benefits, savings, retirement resources, and legacy objectives. The appropriate mix can include term, permanent, or no additional coverage.
Questions worth answering
- Who depends on the income and for how long?
- Which expenses would continue immediately?
- What coverage is tied to employment?
- How much liquidity is already available?
- Is any objective temporary, permanent, or both?
- What premium remains comfortable through normal financial changes?
- Which features have a clear purpose rather than a sales appeal?
