Income replacement needs

Start with a simple analysis that assesses your income replacement needs.

Start

What is your annual earned income after tax, including both base pay and any incentive compensation?

Why are we asking for after tax income? This “net income” is what your household is using to support your lifestyle and long term savings goals. Plus, life insurance death benefits are generally paid tax-free to beneficiaries.

What percentage of your income do you want to replace?

When deciding what percentage of income you want to replace it’s important to consider other sources of income your family would be entitled to upon your death (for example, CPP survivor and children’s benefits) and if you expect the household expenses would decrease. Generally, it is recommended that you replace 70% or above of your income.
