🏠 Outstanding balance insurance & loans

Single premium or recurring premium: which to choose?

For outstanding balance insurance, you can generally choose between a single premium and a recurring premium. Each option has its own logic.

The single premium

You pay once at inception. Frequent advantages: an often optimised overall cost and, for tax, a deduction ceiling increased according to age (in the year of payment). In return, it requires available cash.

The recurring premium

You spread the payment (monthly, yearly…). Advantage: no major cash effort at the outset. The deduction is then spread over time, within the annual limits.

How to decide
  • Your ability to mobilise capital upfront.
  • Age and its effect on the deduction ceiling.
  • Other special expenses already deducted the same year.
  • The remaining term of the loan.

There is no universal answer: the right choice depends on your budget and your tax situation. We compare the scenarios with you, backed by figures, with no obligation.
