Understanding Family Income Benefit Insurance

Family Income Benefit (FIB) Insurance is a lesser-known yet invaluable form of life insurance that provides financial support to your loved ones in the event of your death.

Unlike traditional life insurance policies that pay out a lump sum, Family Income Benefit Insurance offers a regular, tax-free income to your family over a predetermined period.

This can help them maintain their standard of living and cover essential expenses such as mortgage payments, bills, and education costs.

How Does Family Income Benefit Insurance Work?

When you take out a Family Income Benefit policy, you choose the amount of coverage you need and the length of time you want the payments to continue. In the event of your death during the policy term, your beneficiaries will receive a regular income stream rather than a lump sum payout. The payments typically continue until the end of the policy term, which you select when you first purchase the insurance.

For example, if you choose a 20-year policy with a benefit of £2,000 per month, your family will receive £2,000 every month for 20 years if you pass away during this period. This can provide much-needed financial stability and peace of mind during a difficult time.
