Why do you need disability insurance?

Disability insurance is essential for those in high-risk professions like surgeons and physicians, where any injury could jeopardize their career. It’s also beneficial in several other scenarios:

  • Your income relies on your hands, such as for surgeons,
  • You have dependents who rely on your income,
  • You want protection through an “own occupation” policy that covers your specific profession,
  • You’re generally risk-averse and want peace of mind and
  • You’re young and healthy, as you’ll secure lower rates by purchasing a policy early in your career.

How much does disability insurance cost?

Disability insurance premiums differ depending on the carrier and policy, but typically, you can expect to spend around 2% to 4% of your income for own-occupation coverage.

The exact cost depends on various primary factors, including your age, gender, occupation, health history, coverage amount, and more.
