What it covers

A lump sum for your family if you die

Life insurance pays a lump sum if you die during the term of the policy. Your family uses it as they need: to clear the mortgage, pay the bills, replace your income or fund the children's education.

Plans from Irish Life and Royal London Ireland, for example, also pay out early if you are diagnosed with a terminal illness and not expected to live more than 12 months. Cover can be for one person, for two people paying out once, or for two people each covered in full.

  • Single cover: one person insured
  • Joint cover: two lives, pays once on the first death
  • Dual cover: two lives, pays on each death
  • Early payment on terminal illness on many plans
How much cover

How much life cover do you need?

Start with what your family would need to stay where they are. Add the mortgage and any loans. Add the income they would lose, for the years they would need it. Add what the children's education will cost. Take away the cover you already have, including any through work.

That number is your cover. The term is how long they would need it, often until the mortgage ends or the youngest child finishes college. Your price depends on your age, your health, whether you smoke, how much cover you choose and for how long.

  • Mortgage and other debts
  • Years of income your family would need
  • Childcare and education
  • Less the cover you already hold, including death in service
Options worth having

Conversion and indexation options

A conversion option lets you turn your policy into a new one for a longer term without giving new evidence of your health. It costs more than standard cover, and it protects you if your health changes and you need cover for longer.

Indexation raises your cover each year to keep pace with inflation, with the premium rising to match. At Irish Life, for example, cover rises by 3% a year and the premium by 4.5%. Guaranteed insurability lets you increase cover after events such as marriage, a new child or a new mortgage, without new medical evidence.

  • Conversion: extend cover later, no new health evidence
  • Indexation: cover rises each year with inflation
  • Guaranteed insurability: more cover after life events
  • Each option priced and compared before you choose

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Straight answers with the figures. If yours is not here, a senior advisor answers it in your review.

How much does life insurance cost?

It depends on your age, your health, whether you smoke, how much cover you want and for how long. The live quote shows your price from each insurer. Life assurance premiums also carry a 1% government levy.

What is the difference between joint and dual cover?

Joint cover insures two people and pays out once, on the first death. Dual cover insures two people separately and pays out on each death. Dual cover costs more but leaves the survivor insured.

What health questions will I be asked?

Every insurer asks about your health, smoking, work and hobbies. Answer each question fully and accurately. An insurer may refuse a claim if information on the application was wrong or left out, so your advisor goes through the questions with you before you apply.

Do I need a medical?

Most applications are decided on your answers. Depending on your age, the amount of cover and your answers, the insurer may ask for more medical information. Your advisor deals with the insurer for you.

Can I get cover if I have had a health condition?

Often yes, sometimes at a higher price or with an exclusion. Insurers view conditions differently, which is why comparing the market matters most when your history is not straightforward.

Is life cover through work enough?

Death in service from a company pension scheme can pay up to four times salary, and only while you stay in that job. If you move or stop working, it stops. Personal cover stays with you for the full term.

What is a conversion option?

An option to convert your policy into a new one for a longer term without giving new evidence of your health. You pay more for it, and it can be worth it if your health changes.
