What is Executive Income Protection?

Executive Income Protection is a type of income protection insurance that a limited company can set up for a director or key employee. The premiums are paid by the business as an allowable expense — meaning they attract Corporation Tax relief and are not subject to Income Tax or National Insurance for the employee.

By comparison, a personal income protection policy must be paid out of income that has already been taxed, meaning you need to earn considerably more gross income just to cover the same monthly premium — and cover levels are typically lower.

This calculator provides an estimate based on the rates you enter. Always speak with a qualified accountant and one of our advisers to confirm the exact savings and cover available for your business.
