What is life cover?
Life cover ensures that your financial responsibilities are taken care of in the event of your death. It replaces the income you would have earned during your working life, ensuring that your family is financially secure.
When should I get life cover?
- Discuss the benefits of taking out life cover with a financial adviser.
It is advisable to buy life cover earlier because you never know when you are going to need it and, as you get older, life cover gets more expensive. - If anyone else depends on your income, you should consider taking out life cover – the earlier the better.
For example, if you’re married, you and your spouse may want to take out life cover for each other. Many married couples rely on 2 incomes to cover their monthly expenses, and if one
spouse dies, the other spouse would need to cover those expenses on one income.
How much life cover do I need?
To find out how much life cover you need, work out what portion of your income your family needs today. Because that is what they will need if you die tomorrow.
The next step is to calculate the lump sum that will generate this income up to your planned retirement age, taking inflation into account. You can select life cover from R100 000 up to R5m.
