Income protection benefit

Monthly benefit under the 70% cap.

Calculates the monthly income protection benefit available under the APRA 70.00% replacement cap, the after-tax position while on claim, and any gap against existing cover.

Waiting and benefit periods are part of the model, and a superannuation contribution add-on can be included so retirement savings do not stall during a claim.

What you see on screen

Monthly income, the insurable cap, existing cover and the gap. Illustrative figures.

In the app this chart is live: every assumption is on screen, editable, and the projection moves as you change it.

Key inputs

  • Pre-disability income and employment type
  • Waiting period and benefit period
  • Existing income protection cover
  • Super contribution add-on option
  • Marginal tax rate for the after-tax view

What it reports

  • Maximum insurable monthly benefit under the 70.00% cap
  • After-tax income while on claim versus after-tax income today
  • The gap between existing cover and the maximum
  • The effect of the super add-on on retirement savings during a claim

Insights it surfaces

Alongside the numbers, the tool writes plain-language findings you can carry straight into the conversation. Example wording, from sample figures:

The maximum insurable benefit is $6,650 per month; existing cover of $4,000 leaves a $2,650 monthly gap.

On claim, after-tax income replaces 81.40% of current take-home pay once the lower tax on a reduced income is counted.

Every tool, every time

Rates and thresholds come from the verified Australian rate set for the selected financial year. Every run can be saved as a scenario against the client, exported as a client-ready PDF or an Excel workbook with live formulas, and carried into an SOA or ROA. A methodology and audit PDF documents the calculation, and every output carries the compliance block.
