Väter sind pro Jahr 13 000 Pfund wert, erzählt uns eine neue Studie des Versicherers Friends Provient.

"Vaterliebe kann man nicht in Geld ausdrücken, aber die Leistungen die er für die Familie erbringt."

"Familien sehen den Vater oft als Ernährer oder als wandelndes Portmonie, aber wenn es für Vater nicht möglich wäre zu arbeiten, eine Familie würde schnell begreifen Geld wächst nicht an Bäumen."

Dads are worth $30,000 a year

How much is a dad worth?

Almost STG13,000 (more than $A30,000) per year in Britain, according to new research.

The work fathers do around the home - from being a part-time taxi driver to sports coach and gardener - save a family STG12,914 ($A30,518) per year, according to insurer Friends Provident.

Dads undertake handyman work worth STG5,378 ($A12,709) every year, and do domestic chores that would cost STG4,164 ($A9,840) to pay someone else to do them, it calculated.

They also clock up "value" in being a taxi driver (worth STG1,996 ($A4,717) per year), sports coach (STG828 ($A1,957)) and gardener (STG546 ($A1,290)).

Mark Jones, protection and actuarial manager at Friends Provident, said the figures highlighted the importance of protecting against unforeseeable circumstances by taking out some form of life insurance, critical illness cover or income protection.

"You can't put a price on a dad's love, but you can put a price on the work he does," he said.

"A family often see dad as just the breadwinner or a walking cash machine but if dad were unable to work, a family would soon realise that money doesn't grow on trees."
