Of course, providing comes in different forms, whether that’s providing by working outside the home or being your greatest champion, moral compass, and educator of personal responsibility, Dad’s contributions inside the house should be valued as well. ### How much do you think Dad is worth around the house? No doubt, there would be varying responses to this question. However, below is a fun infographic that displays Dad’s value of work performed at home. The interactive version can be seen [here](https://magic.piktochart.com/output/6653395-untitled-infographic).    ### Considering Dad’s value While it’s fun to put a dollar value on all of the household tasks that Moms and Dads perform, it’s also an “eye-opener” when you add up all of the time spent on household duties, and then begin to think about what a family would do if something unexpected happened to Dad. That is where life insurance can help. It can provide some additional financial security for family members left behind. When determining [how much life insurance is needed](https://www.empirelife.ca/lp5), it is important to look not only at any salary that may be affected but also on household contributions that would need to be covered. Although immeasurable in many ways, putting a value on Dad’s contributions is important. All of the duties and tasks performed by Dad would still need to be taken care of, which may mean hiring different services.  Dads work hard to ensure their families are safe, secure, and taken care of, and life insurance can be the additional financial security for family members left behind.  [Term life insurance](https://www.empirelife.ca/lp5) can be affordable, with a quick and simple on-line application process. Getting the life insurance you need to provide peace of mind for your family is easier then you may think. ![Valuing_Fathers](https://blog.empirelife.ca/hs-fs/hubfs/Blog_images/Valuing_Dad/Valuing_Fathers.jpg?width=643&name=Valuing_Fathers.jpg "Valuing_Fathers") [![Share on Facebook](https://static.hubspot.com/final/img/common/icons/social/facebook-24x24.png)](http://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fblog.empirelife.ca%2Fold%2Fvaluing-dad%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Dfacebook) [![Share on LinkedIn](https://static.hubspot.com/final/img/common/icons/social/linkedin-24x24.png)](http://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=https%3A%2F%2Fblog.empirelife.ca%2Fold%2Fvaluing-dad%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Dlinkedin) [![Share on Twitter](https://static.hubspot.com/final/img/common/icons/social/twitter-24x24.png)](https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?original_referer=https%3A%2F%2Fblog.empirelife.ca%2Fold%2Fvaluing-dad%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Dtwitter&url=https%3A%2F%2Fblog.empirelife.ca%2Fold%2Fvaluing-dad%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Dtwitter&source=tweetbutton&text=Valuing%20Dad) [![Share on Email](https://static.hubspot.com/final/img/common/icons/social/email-24x24.png)](mailto:?subject=Check%20out%20https%3A%2F%2Fblog.empirelife.ca%2Fold%2Fvaluing-dad%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Demail%20&body=Check%20out%20https%3A%2F%2Fblog.empirelife.ca%2Fold%2Fvaluing-dad%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Demail) [![Get a quote and apply for life insurance - Buy Now](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/322854/08a3be98-3ef1-4780-a8a3-ce8a1993cecd.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/322854/08a3be98-3ef1-4780-a8a3-ce8a1993cecd) ### Subscribe to Email Updates ### Most Popular Blog Posts ### Blog Categories - [Helpful Tips (41)](https://blog.empirelife.ca/old/topic/helpful-tips) - [Customer Service (9)](https://blog.empirelife.ca/old/topic/customer-service) ### Archives - [June 2017 (1)](https://blog.empirelife.ca/old/archive/2017/06) - [May 2017 (1)](https://blog.empirelife.ca/old/archive/2017/05) - [March 2017 (2)](https://blog.empirelife.ca/old/archive/2017/03) - [February 2017 (1)](https://blog.empirelife.ca/old/archive/2017/02) - [April 2016 (1)](https://blog.empirelife.ca/old/archive/2016/04) - [February 2016 (1)](https://blog.empirelife.ca/old/archive/2016/02) - [December 2015 (1)](https://blog.empirelife.ca/old/archive/2015/12) - [October 2015 (2)](https://blog.empirelife.ca/old/archive/2015/10) - [September 2015 (1)](https://blog.empirelife.ca/old/archive/2015/09) - [August 2015 (1)](https://blog.empirelife.ca/old/archive/2015/08) - [July 2015 (1)](https://blog.empirelife.ca/old/archive/2015/07) - [June 2015 (2)](https://blog.empirelife.ca/old/archive/2015/06) - [May 2015 (1)](https://blog.empirelife.ca/old/archive/2015/05) - [April 2015 (1)](https://blog.empirelife.ca/old/archive/2015/04) - [March 2015 (2)](https://blog.empirelife.ca/old/archive/2015/03) - [February 2015 (1)](https://blog.empirelife.ca/old/archive/2015/02) - [December 2014 (2)](https://blog.empirelife.ca/old/archive/2014/12) - [November 2014 (1)](https://blog.empirelife.ca/old/archive/2014/11) - [October 2014 (1)](https://blog.empirelife.ca/old/archive/2014/10) - [September 2014 (3)](https://blog.empirelife.ca/old/archive/2014/09) - [August 2014 (3)](https://blog.empirelife.ca/old/archive/2014/08) - [July 2014 (2)](https://blog.empirelife.ca/old/archive/2014/07) - [June 2014 (2)](https://blog.empirelife.ca/old/archive/2014/06) - [May 2014 (3)](https://blog.empirelife.ca/old/archive/2014/05) - [April 2014 (4)](https://blog.empirelife.ca/old/archive/2014/04) - [March 2014 (3)](https://blog.empirelife.ca/old/archive/2014/03) - [February 2014 (6)](https://blog.empirelife.ca/old/archive/2014/02) - [January 2014 (6)](https://blog.empirelife.ca/old/archive/2014/01) See all ### Get In Touch ## Contact Us **The Empire Life Insurance Company** 259 King St. E., Kingston, Ontario, K7L 3A8 Monday to Friday 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. EST **Email:** [insuringwithcare@empire.ca](mailto:insuringwithcare@empire.ca) **Telephone:** 1 866 894-6182 [www.empire.ca](http://www.empire.ca) [Blog Disclaimer](https://info.fastandfull.ca/fast-and-full-blog-disclaimer)
