Guaranteed income for the self-employed

KBC Guaranteed Income

Why choose guaranteed income insurance as a self-employed person?

Could you, as a self-employed person, get by on less than 55 euros a day? Of course you couldn't. But what if you were unable to work due to illness or an accident and you lost your professional income? With KBC Guaranteed Income, you receive benefits to top up those paid by your health insurance fund every month. And we also refund your premium during that period of work disability.

Benefits of KBC Guaranteed Income

  • Duration: your guaranteed income insurance automatically covers you until the day you turn 65. You're free to cancel the policy whenever you want.
  • Deferment period: you decide how long you can manage without benefits: 1, 3, 6 or 12 months. The longer the deferment period, the lower the premium. If you become unfit for work again within 3 months, the period doesn't start again.
  • Supplementary physical disability cover: if your degree of physical disability exceeds your degree of work disability, your benefits are based on your degree of physical disability.
  • Indexation: You can opt for your benefits and premiums to be indexed or have them stay the same.
  • Your premium counts as a professional expense and is tax-deductible (except for physical disabilities). But you still have to pay an insurance tax of 9.25% on it. Your benefits are taxed as replacement income or pension.
    The tax treatment of your benefits and premium will depend on your individual circumstances and may change at any time

What's covered?

With KBC Guaranteed Income, you can cover up to 80% of your professional income in the event of illness, accidents outside of and at work (including while travelling to and from work).

What are the main exclusions?

Work disability which starts, becomes longer or more serious due to:

  • The consequences of an existing illness or a previous accident
  • An attempted suicide
  • Intent
  • The consequences of excessive consumption of alcohol or drugs
  • Certain mental health conditions
The complete list of exclusions can be found in the General Conditions.

Get insurance to cover your regular expenses and loans

When you're unfit for work, you still have to pay your regular expenses and loans. You can take out extra insurance with KBC Brussels to finance your regular expenses and loans for the months during which you're unable to work.

Have a company? Get insurance to cover your turnover too

Are you self-employed with your own company? Then your company's profits and turnover are also likely to suffer during the months in which you're unable to work.

Our KBC Guaranteed Income lets you add cover for loss of turnover that pays out during your absence (the funds are remitted to the company). This type of cover could be just what you need, especially if you have a one-man company or management company.

‘Right to be forgotten’ for ex-cancer patients

Since 1 February 2022, KBC Insurance has been applying Assuralia’s Code of Conduct, which gives ex-cancer patients easier access to the Guaranteed Income Insurance.

If your last treatment was more than 10 years ago, you were not incapacitated for work during that period and you meet the conditions of the Code of Conduct, we will no longer consider any previous cancer diagnoses when assessing your application.
