Why choose John Lewis 
Life Cover?
Tick

Know how much you're paying each month - depending on the type of cover or options you choose, your premiums are guaranteed to stay the same as you get older, unless you increase or extend your cover.

Cover to suit your needs - you choose how long you’d like cover for and the amount your family or partner would need.

Tick

Financial security for your loved ones - they can receive a cash sum if you die during the cover period.

The cash sum that would be paid is fixed at the start of your cover.

Tick

The cash sum can be used to cover your family’s expenses such as your mortgage, childcare fees and everyday living costs.

Please read the Key Facts (PDF) and Membership Handbook (PDF) for full details of the cover. The Membership Handbook is also commonly known as 'policy conditions' or 'terms and conditions'.

What is Level Term Cover?

Level Term Cover (also commonly known as level term assurance or level term insurance) pays out a cash sum if you die or suffer a terminal illness, the amount of which stays the same throughout the cover period.

This could be used to compensate for the sudden loss of income and help with:

  • paying off a mortgage
  • paying bills
  • paying childcare costs
  • paying for other everyday living expenses.

By taking out John Lewis Life Cover, you could help ease your family's financial worries should you die or be diagnosed with a terminal illness.

If you only want to cover the cost of paying off a repayment mortgage, you may like to consider our Mortgage Protection Term Cover instead.

Other cover options are available. To find out more please call us on 0800 916 6840 or read the Key Facts (PDF).

How much Life Cover might you need?

Our Life Cover calculator can help you decide how much Life Cover you need. If you're unsure, please speak to a professional financial adviser.

It's important to remember that the buying power of any money paid to you will reduce with inflation, so you need to make sure that you take out sufficient life cover and regularly review your arrangements with us.

How much will Level Term Cover cost?

Protecting your family financially could start from as little as £8 per month, although it will depend on your individual needs and the amount you choose to cover. A John Lewis Life Cover plan doesn't have a cash-in value and requires you to make monthly payments.

Call us on 0800 916 6840 for a personal quotation to see just how affordable life cover could be.

Please be aware that although we can talk through the different options with you, we can't give you financial advice. A professional financial adviser can help you decide whether a life cover plan is suitable for you.
