What this check covers
Plain English. The things an adviser actually looks at when they review your cover.
Whether your current cover amount still matches your actual responsibilities
If your policy includes the right features for your situation today
Whether you're paying more than you need to for the same level of protection
If there are gaps between what you think you're covered for and what your policy actually pays out
Adviser’s view
The thing people miss is that their cover was sized for the life they had when they bought it. A bigger mortgage, a second child, a business loan, none of that reaches the insurer on its own. I regularly see cover set for a mortgage half the size of the one the household now carries. Nothing failed; nobody went back to it.
Why this gets missed
Common mistakes Kiwis make
Set and forget
You took out a policy years ago and haven't reviewed it since. Your mortgage, income, and family situation have all changed but your cover hasn't.
Assumed the bank sorted it
Many people take whatever the bank offers at mortgage time without comparing. Bank-offered cover often has fewer features and higher premiums than standalone policies.
Don't know what they actually have
Most people can't explain what their life insurance actually covers. That's a problem you only discover at claim time.
How it works
Three steps, and you set the pace. Reviews typically take 15–20 minutes.

Life cover: the words on the page, in plain English
Insurance vocabulary is not decoration; each of these words changes what a policy pays. This is what they mean on a New Zealand life cover contract.
| Term | What it means |
|---|---|
| Sum insured | The amount the policy pays out. Not what you pay for it, and not affected by how long you have held the policy. |
| Life assured | The person whose death or terminal illness triggers a claim. Often, but not always, the same person as the policy owner. |
| Policy owner | Whoever owns the contract and receives the payment. Ownership can sit with a trust, a business or a spouse. |
| Accelerated cover | Trauma or TPD cover attached to the life cover. A claim on it reduces the life sum insured by the amount paid. |
| Standalone cover | Trauma or TPD cover written separately, so a claim on it leaves the life cover untouched. Costs more, pays twice. |
| Stepped premium | A premium that is recalculated at each birthday, so it starts lower and rises for as long as you hold it. |
| Level premium | A premium fixed to a set age, so it starts higher and does not step up with age. Better over a long horizon. |
| Special-events increase | A right to raise the sum insured after a mortgage, a birth or a pay rise without new medical evidence. |
| Future insurability | A right to raise the sum insured on a schedule without any life event and without new medical evidence. |
| Loading | An increase applied at underwriting because of health, occupation or pastimes. It attaches to the cover, not to the person. |
| Exclusion | A named condition or activity the policy will not pay for, written into your schedule at underwriting. |
| Non-disclosure | Failing to tell the insurer something it asked about. It is the most common reason a claim is declined. |
Life cover: questions people actually ask
Short answers, written to be read on their own. Where an answer relies on a published figure, the document it came from is linked beside it.
How much life cover is enough?
Start with what has to be paid off and what has to keep being paid: the mortgage and other debt, then the years of household income your family would lose. Subtract what already exists, a bank policy, cover through work, savings. The remainder is the gap, and it is usually larger than people expect.
Should life cover be stepped or level?
Stepped premiums are recalculated at each birthday, so they start lower and climb. Level premiums are fixed to a set age, so they start higher and stay flat. Level wins if you hold the cover for a long time, stepped wins if you expect to cancel within a few years.
What is the difference between accelerated and standalone cover?
Accelerated trauma or TPD is attached to the life cover, so a claim on it reduces the life sum insured by the amount paid. Standalone is a separate contract, so a claim leaves the life cover untouched. Standalone costs more and can pay twice.
Does life insurance pay out for suicide?
Most New Zealand life policies apply an exclusion for a period after the cover starts or is increased, and pay normally after it. The exact period is set in the policy wording, so read your own schedule rather than a general rule.
What is a terminal illness advance?
It pays the life cover early once a doctor certifies you are expected to live less than a set period, 12 months at every insurer in the grid above. The payment is an advance, so whatever is drawn reduces what is paid on death.
What is a bereavement or funeral advance?
A part of the sum insured released on notification of death, before the estate is settled, so a family can pay for a funeral without waiting on probate. The amounts are published and sit between $15,000 and $25,000 on the policies compared here.
Can I increase cover later without a medical?
Yes, in two ways. A special-events increase is triggered by a mortgage, a birth, a marriage or a pay rise. A future-insurability option lets you increase on a schedule with no event at all. Both are capped, and the caps differ widely between insurers.
Can I pause my premiums if I lose my job?
Some insurers publish a suspension: AIA allows cover to be suspended for up to 12 months with no premium payable, and Fidelity Life publishes payment breaks for redundancy, going overseas or study. No claim is payable for anything that happens while the cover is suspended.
Who should own the policy?
Ownership decides who receives the money and how fast. A policy owned by the life assured pays into their estate and waits on probate; a policy owned by a spouse, a trust or a business pays directly. Ownership is worth setting deliberately, not by default.
Is a life insurance payout taxed in New Zealand?
A personal life insurance payment is not treated as income in the hands of an individual beneficiary. Business-owned and key-person policies can be treated differently depending on how premiums were claimed, so a business structure needs its own advice.
What happens if I did not disclose something?
Non-disclosure is the most common reason a claim is declined. If you realise something was missed, tell the insurer now rather than at claim time: a disclosure made while you are healthy is usually underwritten, while one made at claim time is investigated.
Does cover through my bank or employer count?
It counts, but it is rarely the whole answer. Bank mortgage cover is usually tied to the loan and ends when the loan does; employer cover ends when the job does. Both are worth counting in the gap calculation and neither is portable.
How often should life cover be reviewed?
Whenever the reason you bought it changes: a new mortgage, a baby, a separation, a large pay rise, or a business you now owe money for. Otherwise once a year is enough, mainly to check the sum insured has not been quietly outgrown.
Exclusions and things to note
The parts of a life cover contract that decide a declined claim are rarely in the brochure headline. Each of the following is quoted from the policy document or product page linked beside it, and each one is a real limit on a real policy sold in New Zealand today. Your own schedule may carry personal exclusions on top of these.
- A special-events increase must be requested within 12 months of the event, and only one increase can be made in any 12-month period.[1]
- Any loading, exclusion or special term applied to the original cover is applied to a special-events increase as well, so an increase does not reset your underwriting.[1]
- A life assured over the age of 55 is not eligible for special-events increases.[1]
- While cover is suspended no premium is payable and no claim is payable for anything that happens during the suspension.[1]
- The dependent child funeral benefit excludes pre-existing conditions.[2]
- Special conditions, exclusions and premium loadings may be applied to your policy at underwriting, and they are personal to you rather than to the product.[2]
- Converting part of the cover to a level-premium funeral benefit is available only after 10 years of cover and from age 65.[3]
- A product brochure is a summary. Where it differs from the policy document, the policy document prevails, so the schedule you are issued is the contract, not the marketing.[3]

One owner will hold 640,000 lives, and the adviser panel gets shorter
If you hold a Fidelity Life or Westpac-branded life policy, your cover, your premium and your policy wording are set by contract and do not change because the shares change hands.
How much life cover would this need?
A common starting point is your debts, plus the household income you would want replaced for a few years, minus the savings and cover you already have.
Anything already there gets subtracted, so the number is the gap rather than the total.

Common questions
The stuff people actually ask.
Because your life has probably changed since you set it up. Income, mortgage, kids, debts they all affect how much cover you need. A check confirms you're still sorted or flags gaps worth fixing.
No. This is just a review. Nothing changes unless you decide to make changes. Your existing cover stays exactly as it is.
Online quotes give you a price. This gives you clarity. An adviser looks at your full situation, not just your age and smoking status, and tells you whether your cover actually works for you.
Then the adviser will tell you that. Seriously. There's no incentive to change something that doesn't need changing. Sometimes the best outcome is peace of mind.
The check is free. The advice call is free. If you end up taking out or changing a policy, the adviser is paid by the insurer. You don't pay for any of this.
A common framework is debt + income support horizon + immediate family costs. The exact amount depends on your mortgage, dependants, and household income mix.
Age, smoking status, health history, cover amount, occupation profile, and premium structure are usually the biggest cost drivers.
Yes. Comparing wording, exclusions, premium paths, and underwriting approaches can materially change long-term policy value.
You don't pay QuoteHub. The check is free and the advice call is free. If you decide to take out or change a policy, the adviser is paid a commission by the insurer. How that works is disclosed to you before any advice is given.
More about life insurance in NZ
Life insurance NZ planning should begin with outcome clarity
If you were not here tomorrow, what financial obligations must still be met and for how long? For most families, the first priorities are debt continuity, partner stability, and predictable cashflow during transition. A policy that looks cheap but fails these priorities is not a good result.
In New Zealand, life cover is often arranged once at mortgage time and then left unchanged for years. That is where risk appears quietly. Mortgage balances change, incomes rise or fall, children are born, and business obligations shift. Your policy needs periodic review so cover level and product structure still match your real life.
The strongest life insurance comparisons in NZ evaluate three things together: policy wording quality, premium sustainability over time, and claims practicality for your household scenario. Looking at any one in isolation can create expensive mistakes.
What life insurance covers in NZ
Core life cover generally pays a lump sum on death, and many products include a terminal illness benefit where criteria are met. That lump sum is usually used for mortgage reduction, debt clearance, and household stability. Cover does not replace monthly income by default forever; it provides capital that must be planned around your obligations.
Who needs life insurance
Families with dependants, households with significant debt, single-income dependencies, and business owners with personal guarantees often carry the highest downside risk from inadequate cover. Even where there are no children, debt obligations and partner dependence can justify meaningful cover.
How much cover you might need
A practical baseline starts with debt + immediate costs + income support horizon. Example one: a household with a large mortgage and two dependants usually needs debt clearance plus several years of income replacement runway. Example two: a dual-income household with lower debt may require less income replacement but still needs enough to protect partner stability and fixed obligations.
Stepped vs level premiums summary
Stepped premiums usually start lower but rise with age, while level premiums are often more stable over longer periods. The right choice depends on budget horizon and intended policy duration. If you plan to hold cover long term, premium structure decisions can materially affect affordability later.

What affects cost most
Age, smoking status, health history, occupational risk, cover amount, and product options. Underwriting outcomes differ between insurers, so multi-insurer comparison can improve either pricing or terms. Pre-existing conditions do not always prevent cover, but they may change terms through loadings or exclusions.
Term life insurance vs other cover types
Life cover is usually for capital protection after death; income protection is for monthly cashflow when you cannot work; trauma cover is a lump sum on specified diagnosis events; health cover is treatment-access focused. Many households use a combination rather than expecting one policy to solve every risk.
A useful way to avoid overengineering is sequencing
First set life cover for core obligations, then add supporting protections where gaps remain. This keeps planning practical and budget-aware while reducing underinsurance risk.
Compare policy intent, not marketing language.
Ask: what event is covered, when does payment occur, what proof is required, and how does this policy behave after 5–10 years? Those questions usually surface the real differences between options.
If your goal is clarity, use a structured review and compare relevant options before locking in a long-term premium commitment.
QuoteHub compared with the alternatives
The premium an insurer charges is the same whether you buy direct, through a broker, through a comparison site, or through QuoteHub, because adviser commission is built into the insurer’s standard price rather than added to it. What changes is how much of the market you see, whether anyone writes down why one policy was recommended over another, and who lodges the claim when it matters. QuoteHub compares 8 New Zealand insurers named in full on our disclosure page, gives you a written recommendation, and stays with you at claim time. Going direct gives you one insurer and its own claims team. A broker usually does what we do, though panel sizes differ, so ask for the list. A comparison website is usually a quote list rather than advice, and some are owned by an insurer or by a business that resells enquiries.
