Points to be noted

Calculation of Income Protection (IP) Claim Cover
There IP Claim benefit can be calculated in two cases –
- If you have an existing Income protection cover
If you have Income Protection cover under existing policies, click on the Other Covers button on top to check the monthly benefit.
These existing covers have their own benefit period as per details entered under existing policy section.
By default, the offset amount will be calculated for all IP covers separately and then added to calculate total offset amount.
After-tax monthly benefit x Benefit Period(months) = total IP claim = Total amount to offset TPD
- When a custom Income Protection is entered
In case a custom entry is made for Insurance Needs Analysis where income required per month and benefit period are entered manually, we will calculate the offset amount based on these entries.
Total IP claim = After-tax monthly benefit x Benefit period(months)
