Professionals ยท New York

New York professional. Good income, high cost of living, coverage gap.

New York's cost of living is the highest in the country. That means the financial consequence of your death is also the highest. Most NY professionals are covered at a fraction of what they actually need.

Three life insurance gaps New York professionals face

A New York professional earning $120,000 to $200,000 has a lifestyle that costs significantly more than the national average. Their life insurance needs to account for that.

๐Ÿ™๏ธ

NYC housing costs make coverage calculations different

A $500,000 condo in Queens or Brooklyn costs the equivalent of a $1.5 million home in the Midwest. Standard coverage calculators don't account for New York-specific housing costs. We calculate your number using real NYC figures.

๐Ÿ’ผ

Employer coverage disappears with your job

The NYC job market moves fast. Most NY professionals have changed employers at least twice in the past 10 years. Every time you switch, your group life insurance resets. Individual coverage moves with you.

Dependents in New York need more, not less

Raising a child in New York costs 30% to 50% more than the national average. Private school, childcare, college savings โ€” the number your family needs if you're gone is higher in New York.

Life insurance questions from New York professionals

A $1.5 million to $2 million term policy is a reasonable starting point. That replaces 10 to 13 years of income, covers the NYC mortgage or rent obligation, and funds key financial goals. We calculate your specific number in your diagnostic.
For most NY professionals in their 30s and 40s, term is the right starting point. It gives the maximum coverage at the lowest cost. Permanent coverage makes sense for specific estate and tax goals โ€” and we discuss that when it applies to you.
Yes. If a parent or spouse co-signed your student loans, a life insurance policy can ensure those obligations are covered if you die. We factor this into your coverage calculation.
Employer group life is usually 1 to 2 times your salary โ€” far below the 10 to 12 times your income most NY households need. Individual coverage supplements the gap and stays with you when the job doesn't.
No. APB Financial Architect is an independent insurance specialist, not a registered investment advisor or financial planner. The services here cover insurance products: life insurance, disability income, annuities, and voluntary benefits. For investment advice or securities, you'd need to work with a licensed investment advisor or broker-dealer. Insurance products are not securities and do not involve investment advice.
