Why Doctors Need Life Insurance

Higher income means higher cover requirements.

Higher Income Replacement

With salaries from £30,000 (junior) to £100,000+ (consultant), replacing 10 years of income requires substantial cover. NHS death in service alone is unlikely to be sufficient.

Large Mortgages

Doctors often have larger mortgages, particularly in London and the South East. Matching your cover to your mortgage and income is essential.

Standard Premiums

Despite long hours and stress, doctors are classified as standard risk by most insurers. Your premiums are the same as other professionals — no loading for being a doctor.

Life Insurance For Doctors FAQs

Common questions about doctor life cover.

No. Doctors are standard risk. The medical profession is not considered hazardous by life insurers, so premiums are the same as office workers.

Consider your mortgage plus 10x your salary. A consultant earning £100,000 with a £400,000 mortgage may need £1.4 million of cover. A broker can calculate the exact amount.

The NHS pension provides a death in service lump sum, but for higher earners this may fall short. Most doctors need additional private cover to fully protect their family.

Yes. Locum and freelance doctors can get standard life insurance. You may not have employer death in service benefits, making personal cover essential.
