Family Income Benefit
Family Income Benefit (FIB) is a life insurance policy designed to provide your family with a regular, tax-free monthly income if you pass away during the policy term. Unlike traditional life insurance that pays out a lump sum, FIB offers ongoing financial support, which can be particularly beneficial for families with young children or dependents.
How Family Income
Benefits Works
1
Payout Structure
If you die during the policy term, your beneficiaries receive a monthly income for the remainder of the term. For instance, if you have a 20-year policy and pass away after 5 years, your family would receive monthly payments for the remaining 15 years.
2
Policy Term
Typically chosen to cover the period until your children become financially independent.
3
Tax-Free Payments
The income your family receives is generally not subject to income tax, providing them with the full benefit.

KEY FACTS OF FIB
1
No Payout If You Survive the Term
If you outlive the policy, no benefit is paid, and premiums are not refunded.
2
Not a Lump Sum
If your family requires a large sum to pay off debts or cover significant expenses, a traditional life insurance policy might be more appropriate.
3
Joint Policies
Typically pay out only once, after the first death, leaving the surviving partner without coverage unless they take out a new policy.
An alternative to joint life policy is to opt for two single policies cover applicants independently.
There may be a fee for mortgage advice. The precise amount of the fee will depend upon your circumstances but will range from £150 to £995 and this will be discussed and agreed with you at the earliest opportunity.
