Why Parents Need Life Insurance

Your children depend on you financially. Life insurance protects them.

Replace Your Income

If you died, your family would lose your income. Life insurance provides a tax-free lump sum or regular payments to replace it.

Cover Childcare Costs

Raising a child to 18 costs over £150,000. Life insurance ensures your children's needs are met — school, activities, everyday expenses.

Stay At Home Parents Too

Even if you don't earn, replacing childcare and household management costs thousands per year. Both parents should be covered.

Life Insurance For Parents FAQs

Common questions about life cover for parents.

Consider 10 times your annual salary plus your mortgage balance. This gives your family enough to replace your income and stay in the home.

Yes. Even a stay-at-home parent should be covered — replacing childcare costs alone can be £15,000-30,000 per year.

Family Income Benefit is often ideal — it pays a regular monthly income to your family rather than a lump sum, making it easier to manage.

No. Young parents typically pay less because they are younger and healthier. A 30-year-old can get £200,000 cover for around £10/month.
