About this calculator

TPD pays a one-off lump sum if you become totally and permanently disabled. Use it to pay off the mortgage and adapt the house, while income protection covers ongoing living costs.

  • 'Own occupation' definition is more generous (and more expensive) than 'any occupation'.
  • Often bundled with life cover at a discount.

Frequently asked questions

How is it different from trauma?
Trauma pays on diagnosis of a listed critical illness regardless of whether you can work. TPD only pays if the disability is total and permanent.
