Our income protection product is essentially income protection insurance. It works in a similar way to mortgage payment protection, however it differs in that it is not limited to your mortgage repayments alone, but will pay an income to you for up to one year in the event of being made involuntarily redundant.
A key point to note is that not all income protection policies available on the market in Ireland are the same. Most only offer income protection in the event of someone having ill health, whereas this income protection insurance policy offers cover if you lose your employment.
Income Protection For All
Financial Architects were involved in the design of this product with the IBA (Irish Brokers Association) and we were one of the first Financial Services companies to offer this product to new and existing clients across Meath and Ireland.
A key element in the design of this income protection product was to ensure that it would be available to both employed and self-employed individuals. So for the first time, business owners can protect themselves against the loss of earnings because their business fails.
Income Protection Cover – An Affordable Solution
Income protection is a very affordable option for anyone concerned about securing an ongoing income in the event of losing their job or being unable to work due to illness. For example, an average client taking cover for €1,650 per month would only pay €67.32pm for Accident, Sickness and Unemployment cover combined!

€2,000

Tax And Social Welfare Issues Relating To Income Protection Cover:
Income Protection Insurance is paid for up to one year tax free, but does not affect entitlements to Social Welfare. So if your current after-tax income is €2,500 per month, the policy will cover 75% of this for you (€1,875) and you can still claim your social welfare entitlements of €203 per week (approx) for up to one year, assuming you are PAYE.
Cheap Income Protection Insurance:
This income cover is very competitive at a cost of €41.60 for every €1,000 of income you want to have covered (up to a maximum of €2,000 per month).
