Cigna Disability Income Needs Calculator

Have you thought about what could happen to you or your family if you were unable to work due to illness or injury?

Disability income facts:

     - Just over 1 in 4 of today's 20 year-olds are expected to become disabled before they retire. ¹
     - 65% of working Americans say they could not cover normal living expenses even for a year if their employment income was lost;
       38% could not pay their bills for more than 3 months. ²
     - Over 37 million Americans are classified as disabled; about 12% of the total population. ³

If you are like many people, you may not have a lot of money in savings to tide you over if you miss work because of an injury or illness. When you can't work - even for a short period of time - things can get very difficult very quickly.

You may think you have enough in savings, but will it cover your bills and day-to-day living expenses? To get a better idea of how much you rely on your income each month, try our Disability Income Needs Calculator.
