Note: Premiums are average values for a standalone German disability insurance (SBU) in 2026. Actual premiums vary by insurer (Alte Leipziger, Allianz, Continentale, Nürnberger, HDI), health assessment, end age and tariff features (waiver of abstract reference, AU clause, supplementary insurance guarantee). Rule of thumb: BU pension = 60–80 % of net income, end age at least 65, premium and benefit dynamics 2–3 % to offset inflation.
