If you were to require childcare services as well, the figure could be even higher.

Protection for your family

You can give yourself and your family financial peace of mind, with a range of protection plans from NFU Mutual. We will help you get the right amount of cover for your personal needs, and we can review your circumstances on a regular basis, as future inflation could make the lump sum worth less than it is today.

From as little as £5.00 a month, Level Temporary Assurance is an affordable way of guaranteeing that a lump sum of money will be paid to your family in their hour of greatest need (premiums must be maintained to ensure cover remains in place).

So how much could it really cost?

Examples of monthly costs for £100,000 cover over 10 years (if accepted on standard terms). These figures are estimates only, the actual premium will depend on your individual circumstances.
