Income Protection Insurance

Insurance for your lifestyle

Maintain your quality of life

Income protection from Aviva helps you maintain your lifestyle by giving you a monthly income if illness or injury prevents you from working for a period of time, so you can concentrate on getting better.

Security

Protection of up to 75% of your total earnings.

Peace of mind

A guaranteed premium that cannot rise.1

Tax Savings

Tax relief on all premiums at 20% or 40%.

When life is going well, it’s easy to take money for granted. But just think about how you’d cope if your income suddenly dried up due to ill health or injury? The things you care about – your family’s lifestyle, your home, your children’s education – could be in jeopardy.

Practical protection designed for you

If you suddenly lose your ability to earn a living, you want a back-up plan that works when you need it most. That’s where we come in – with income protection cover that’s flexible, competitive and built to suit your lifestyle.

How to tailor your income protection cover

  • Choose the amount you get if you make a claim – you can go from €5,200 to €262,500 a year.
  • Select the length of your policy – cover can end between 55 - 70.
  • Pick your deferred period – that’s the time you wait before your policy pays a benefit. It can be 4, 8, 12, 26 or 52 weeks.
  • Decide if the money paid out should keep up with inflation.
