Family income benefit is a type of life insurance that pays out a regular income to your loved ones if you pass away during the policy term. Instead of a lump sum, your family will receive monthly or yearly payments, helping them cover ongoing expenses like mortgage payments, household bills, or education costs.
For more information, you can also book yourself in for a free insurance review with one of our protection and mortgage advisors in Leeds.
If you’re the primary earner in your household, family income benefit can provide essential financial stability for your family in the event of your death. It’s particularly useful if you want to ensure your loved ones can maintain their current lifestyle and manage regular expenses without financial stress.
A mortgage and protection advisor can offer expert guidance tailored to your specific needs, helping you navigate the complexities of choosing the right mortgage and protection products like family income benefit or critical illness cover. They can source the best deals and make sure you’re adequately protected.
Speak with a mortgage broker in Leeds like ourselves to help assess your current situation and work with you to find the most appropriate insurance product for your needs.
Typically, family income benefit is designed to pay out as a regular income rather than a lump sum. However, some insurers may allow you to commute the policy into a lump sum under certain circumstances, though this depends on the specific terms of your policy.
Family income benefit and life insurance are both types of protection, but they work differently. Family income benefit provides regular payments over time, while standard life insurance pays out a one-time lump sum. Your choice depends on whether you prefer ongoing income support for your family or a single payout.

Great service received by Jason Loft. He took the time to clearly explain our options and to arrange our new mortgage, making the process a lot easier than doing it ourselves.
