Estimate only. Real premiums depend on carrier, claims history and underwriting.

How it works

We apply an industry risk factor to revenue for general liability and property, and to payroll for workers' comp, summing them into an estimated total annual premium.

Industry is the biggest lever: a contractor pays far more than an office for the same revenue.

What underwriters actually price on

Business insurance premiums aren’t random. Carriers price on a handful of factors: your industry’s risk class, your revenue (more sales, more exposure), your payroll and headcount (for workers’ comp), and your property values. This calculator combines those into a realistic total across the three policies most small businesses carry — general liability, property, and workers’ comp.

Use it to sanity-check quotes

The point isn’t a binding quote — it’s a defensible range so you’re not negotiating blind. If a broker’s number lands far above this estimate, ask why; if it’s far below, make sure the coverage limits actually match. Then drill into each policy with the dedicated calculators.
