Sanlam Indie: Frequently Asked Questions

Sanlam Indie Income Protection provides you with a reliable monthly income if you’re no longer able to work because of a disability. It starts paying for disabilities that last for more than 21 days and continues until you recover or when you turn 70.

If you become disabled or ill and can’t work for more than 21 days, you receive a tax-free monthly income until you recover or turn 70. The amount will depend on the cover you’ve chosen.

Most people need to cover about 85% of their existing income, after tax but before other deductions (like pension fund contributions), in case they become disabled. Also bear in mind any existing income protection you may have (which would reduce the amount of Sanlam Income Protection you need).

Your cover amount will automatically grow each year with inflation, but you can choose to opt out of this growth (in order to reduce your premium).

Your premium is determined by your age and risk profile when you take out the cover.

Sanlam Indie lets you proactively skip premiums without losing all your cover or reducing your Wealth Bonus. Read more.

Get any Sanlam Indie policy and we’ll match up to 100% of your monthly premium in an investment - at no extra cost.

Your Wealth Bonus grows with your premiums and with the market. Over the years, those contributions really add up and so does the growth. You can access 10% of it every five years, and all of it (including years of growth) at 70. You can learn everything you need to know on the Wealth Bonus page.
