Why you need
income protection insurance
Because good health isn’t guaranteed

1 in 4 people become unable to work due to illness. The top causes are mental health struggles like burnout and depression, followed by heart disease, cancer and illnesses that restrict mobility.
Because a lot depends on you

Your work pays for your life – and perhaps the lives of your loved ones and other people may also depend on it, too. Your earning capacity over the course of your life is your most important asset.
Because it’s part of working in Germany

Income protection insurance is one of the most common types of insurance in Germany. If you’re planning on spending your working life here, it’s worth your while.
Because government assistance isn’t enough

Government occupational disability assistance only applies in full if you can't work for more than three hours a day. Even then, it's a maximum of 40% of your last total monthly salary – not enough to cover your living costs.

When income protection
insurance steps in
Some common examples

When you're burned out

Imagine you're a software developer. You often work evenings and weekends, and you've been feeling more and more exhausted and no longer see the point of your work.

Diagnosis: burnout. You can't work for at least a year. Luckily, you have income protection insurance and can concentrate on getting well again.

When you have back pain

Imagine you're in the fire service. The job is physically demanding and you work long shifts. Then your doctor diagnoses you with chronic back pain. You'll never be able to work in the fire service again.

After the first 6 months, you receive your first income protection payout. You start looking for a new job while in treatment for your back, and the payouts keep coming every month.

When you have cancer

Imagine you get a scary diagnosis: leukaemia. You're lucky, and your prognosis is good. But chemo is tough, and you can't work anymore.

After two years, you're feeling good enough to go back to work. Your income protection insurance guaranteed you a secure monthly salary throughout your cancer journey.
