Most people don’t find out what they’re actually covered for until it’s too late. See your estimated numbers — including what group LTD might actually pay — in under 2 minutes.

Select your coverage status and we'll walk you through your real numbers.
We'll calculate your real take-home benefit — including benefit caps, the tax hit, and your elimination period.
Before the numbers — here's why group LTD almost always delivers less than advertised.
When your employer pays the LTD premiums, the IRS treats every benefit dollar as ordinary taxable income — taxed exactly like your paycheck. Your stated benefit is not what lands in your bank account.
Most group plans define disability as "unable to do your own occupation" for only the first 24 months. After that, the definition shifts to "any occupation." If you can perform any job at all — even at a fraction of your former salary — benefits can stop.
What you think you'd receive vs. what actually hits your bank account.
A monthly shortfall feels manageable. Watch what it compounds to.
The amount your plan pays is only half the story. What it won't pay matters just as much.
A condition that develops while on a group plan can make you uninsurable individually the moment that job ends — even if you've never filed a claim.
Your group plan leaves a gap. How long would savings bridge that shortfall?
We'll show you exactly how much income is exposed — and what the numbers look like over time.
Most people believe disability won't happen to them. The numbers say otherwise.
1 in 4 working Americans will experience a disability lasting 90 or more days
What your monthly income looks like if you become disabled today — with nothing in place.
A monthly income loss feels abstract. Watch what it adds up to over the years.
With no coverage, you'd be covering all expenses from savings. How long does that last?
If your paycheck stopped tomorrow due to illness, injury, or a major health event, how long would your lifestyle, savings, or retirement plans stay on track? Income protection isn’t a luxury — it’s the foundation of a real financial plan.
Greg O’Rourke will help you build a simple, tailored protection strategy using disability income insurance, accident benefits, critical illness coverage, and hospital recovery plans — so a health setback doesn’t become a financial crisis.
Most people insure their property, cars, and valuables — but not the paycheck that pays for all of it. A serious illness or injury can disrupt your income far longer than your savings can withstand.
Income protection keeps money coming in if you’re unable to work — protecting your lifestyle, savings, and family.
We help you combine the right tools — not just one policy — to protect your paycheck and your future.
