Disability income insurance is a must if you’re self-employed

Ask yourself, would you rather have a career that pays $100,000 per annum but nothing if you were disabled and could not work or one that paid up to 70% of your current income tax-free if you were disabled? The benefit is paid until you can return to work or age 65. Having disability income insurance is crucial, particularly if you are self-employed or married with children.

Under age 35

Age 35 to 44

Age 45 to 54

Age 55 or older

We know disability risks are real

The purpose of disability income insurance is to provide the income to maintain your lifestyle until you are cleared to return to work. It transfers the financial risk of a severe disability from you to the insurance company. A severe injury or illness that keeps you from working for an extended period can be financially devastating when you consider that:

  • Your current income will cease to exist.

  • Your future income will be at risk due to your disability.

  • Yet your business or personal expenses may continue.

Disability income insurance policies help protect you, your family and your business by protecting your income from disabling injury or illness.

...and disability income insurance is the solution

  • Short-term disability: This disability policy protects for a brief period of up to 120 days when employment insurance might not be available. This is only available as part of group insurance, not as an individual product.

  • Long-term disability: Available as a standalone solution and comes in a few variances and several design criteria. These are:

    1. Elimination period

    2. Benefit period

    3. Injury only, or injury and sickness

    4. On the job vs. 24 hour

Critical illness insurance provides financial help during a health crisis

A critical illness policy can be used as a form of savings. Most policies provide a return of premium if the policy expires or is cancelled. You will either be receiving a cheque in the form of a critical illness benefit (should you become sick) or a cheque for a health benefit (should you remain healthy).

The likelihood of suffereing from a critical illness

The chance of suffering from a serious illness

We live in a dangerous world, just about everything from motor vehicle accidents to contracting serious illnesses. We know these risks are real, but we would be risking even more by not allowing ourselves to live to our fullest potential. While we ignore some of the more minor risks, the larger ones should not be ignored – especially when there is a practical solution. Unlike the chance of a house fire or catastrophic car crash, which are 1 in 1200 and 1 in 240 respectively, the chance of suffering from a critical illness is 1 in 3. This risk is real and you can plan ahead using critical illness insurance.

...and critical illness insurance is the solution

Critical illness insurance pays out a lump sum benefit upon diagnosis and survival of conditions covered by your policy. Conditions range from cancer, heart attack, and stroke to comas and severe burns, with most conditions requiring surviving 30 days beyond the original diagnosis. Depending on the illness, replacing lost income due to inability to work and the costs of covering current expenses and health recovery expenses that are not covered by provincial health care plans will vary. Your capital needs depend on your specific situation. Getting a quote should give you some ideas.

How to use $4,000 to protect your $96,000 income

Comparing quotes to start your life insurance, critical illness insurance, or disability income insurance shopping journey is good. You may focus, at the start, solely on the price when choosing a company. However, the best companies may offer additional benefits that give flexibility at a reasonable price.
