An estimating tool, not insurance advice and not a quote. Underwriting sets real premiums on claims history, exact operations and contract requirements. What cover you need is a question for a licensed broker. Electrical work carries fire and shock exposure that underwriters price carefully, and completed operations cover matters because a fault can appear years after the work. Licensing and permit compliance are usually policy conditions. Uninsured subcontractors are commonly added to your payroll base at audit, which produces large adjustments. Collect certificates before work starts.

Questions

About this calculator

Why is workers compensation so much of the total?

Because the class rate for physical trades is high and it applies to the whole payroll. Office classifications are a fraction of a percent; trade classifications are several percent and sometimes far more.

What raises a contractor's premium most?

Claims history through the experience modifier, which follows you for several years, and the class codes your work falls under. Both matter more than the insurer you choose.

The formula

general liability on revenue, workers compensation on payroll at the class rate, plus commercial auto per vehicle
