Income protection insurance 
With income protection insurance, you can protect yourself against loss of earnings if you’re no longer able to work due to an illness or accident. Around 80% of cases of loss of earning capacity are due to illness. In this case, the compulsory social benefits such as the IV pension usually only cover 60% to 70% of your income. 

You can choose whether you want to insure the risk of illness alone, or whether you want to insure illness and accident in combination.

 

Why should I choose this solution?
With income protection insurance, you provide financial security for yourself and your family if you’re no longer able to work due to an illness or an accident.

Questions and answers

If an insured person dies, death benefit insurance pays a predetermined sum to their family. This makes sure relatives have financial security.

It is worth taking out death benefits insurance if you want to protect your family financially. It helps to cover debts or ongoing costs.

You can find more information in the interview on death benefits insurance with our pensions expert.

Death benefits insurance only pays out in the event of the death of the insured person. Life insurance often offers additional savings and pension options.

The premium depends on the person’s age and state of health as well as the insured sum and fixed term of the policy.

Income protection insurance pays you a monthly pension if your income is lost in whole or in part due to illness or accident.

It protects against loss of income and ensures that you remain financially secure if you are unable to work. The AHV or IV pension often only covers part of your previous salary, so income protection insurance helps to close the gap and ensure you can continue to maintain your usual standard of living.

In our article, we explain how well protected you’ll be in the event of loss of earning capacity or disability. 

The costs depend on the person’s age, occupation and state of health as well as the sum insured (amount of the desired pension) and the selected term. A higher health risk usually increases the premium. 

Our expert advisors will help you to find the perfect insurance coverage in every phase of life. If you have a specific question about an insurance policy, we will answer it quickly and expertly.
