Life Insurance Simplified
Why life insurance matters and how to choose the right cover for your family and mortgage in the UK.
This video covers UK life insurance basics: level term vs decreasing term policies, how much cover you need (typically 10x salary plus debts), calculating the right policy length, joint vs single policies, and what happens when you claim. We explain how age and health affect premiums and why mortgage protection differs from family income benefit.
Life insurance pays a lump sum to your beneficiaries if you die during the policy term. For families with mortgages, this ensures the home can be kept; for families with children, it replaces lost income and maintains their standard of living.
The payout amount should typically cover your mortgage balance plus 10 to 20 times your annual salary to replace income for surviving family members.
