Business insurance calculators for commercial lines

Business insurance calculators estimate a workers' compensation premium from payroll, class rates and the experience mod, the life coverage a business needs on a key person, how many policies and how much coverage a buy-sell agreement requires, and the business income limit a shutdown would call for. Commercial agencies get owners who have already stated payroll, values and exposure.

What you get

When prospects start searching

  1. 01

    First employees

    Hiring triggers workers' compensation requirements in most states.

    Ownership changes raise the buy-sell funding question.

  3. 03

    A key hire or a big contract

    Dependence on one person or one location becomes visible.

  4. 04

    Renewal and audit

    Experience mods and payroll audits change the premium picture.

How does the workers' comp calculator help a commercial producer?

It turns up to three class codes' payroll and rates per $100 into manual premium, applies the experience modification factor, schedule credits or debits, premium discount, state assessments and fees, and shows the effective cost per $100 of payroll. The owner sees why the mod matters; you see their payroll mix.

See the workers' compensation premium calculator. Rates always come from the visitor's quote or rating bureau; the calculator never supplies them.

Which tools protect the owners themselves?

Key person and buy-sell calculators. The key person calculator compares three methods — multiple of compensation, contribution to profits and replacement cost — and the buy-sell calculator shows coverage per owner and the number of policies a cross-purchase or entity redemption plan needs.

Use the key person calculator and buy-sell funding calculator on pages for professional practices and partnerships, next to the life insurance calculator for the owners' families.

What does the business interruption calculator add?

A business income limit built from monthly profit, continuing expenses, payroll to keep paying, a restoration period, extended recovery months and extra expense — the worksheet most owners never complete. It makes the coinsurance and period-of-restoration conversation concrete.

See the business interruption calculator.

FAQ

Questions agencies ask

Answers first, details after.

Which business calculators can I embed?

Workers' comp premium, key person, buy-sell funding and business interruption, each live with its own page. The calculator index lists every line.

Does the workers' comp calculator supply class rates?

No. The owner enters rates per $100 of payroll from a quote, policy or rating bureau. The calculator applies the mod, schedule rating, discount and assessments.

How many methods does the key person calculator use?

Three: a multiple of compensation, contribution to profits over a recovery period, and replacement cost (recruiting, transition profit loss and guaranteed debts). It shows which method gives the largest need.

Does the buy-sell calculator handle unequal ownership?

It assumes equal owners, which it states in its disclaimer. Unequal shares need a custom calculation in your conversation.

Is extra expense included in business interruption?

Yes, as a separate input for one-time costs to keep operating or reopen faster.

Can these work for professional practices?

Yes. Dental, medical, legal and accounting practices are classic key person and buy-sell prospects.

Do they work in Spanish?

Yes. All calculators run in 2 languages, Spanish included.

Which plan includes them?

Every plan, including the free Producer plan, which embeds up to 5 calculators.
