Title Basic Premium Calculation for Policies in Excess of $100,000

Using the table below, apply these steps to determine basic premium for policies above $100,000:

  • Step 1 In column (1), find the range that includes the policy's face value.
  • Step 2 Subtract the value in column (2) from the policy's face value.
  • Step 3 Multiply the result in Step 2 by the value in column (3), and round to the nearest dollar.
  • Step 4 Add the value in column (4) to the result of the value from Step 3.

(See examples provided following the table.)

[Greater than $25,000,000] 25,000,000 0.00160 $ 88,401

Examples for Policies in Excess of $100,000

Example 1:

(1) Policy is $268,500
(2) Subtract $100,000 ==> $268,500 - $100,000 ==> Result = $168,500
(3) Multiply by 0.00554 ==> $168,500 x 0.00554 ==> $933.49 ==> Result = $933
(4) Add $875 ==> $933 + $875 ==> Final Result = $1,808

Example 2:

(1) Policy is $4,826,600
(2) Subtract $1,000,000 ==> $4,826,600 - $1,000,000 ==> Result = $3,826,600
(3) Multiply by 0.00456 ==> $3,826,600 x 0.00456 ==> $17,449.30 ==> Result = $17,449
(4) Add $5,861 ==> $17,449 + $5,861 ==> Final Result = $23,310

Example 3:

(1) Policy is $10,902,800
(2) Subtract $5,000,000 ==> $10,902,800 - $5,000,000 ==> Result = $5,902,800
(3) Multiply by 0.00376 ==> $5,902,800 x 0.00376 ==> $22,194.53 ==> Result = $22,195
(4) Add $24,101 ==> $22,195 + $24,101 ==> Final Result = $46,296

Example 4:

(1) Policy is $17,295,100
(2) Subtract $15,000,000 ==> $17,295,100 - $15,000,000 ==> Result = $2,295,100
(3) Multiply by 0.00267 ==> $2,295,100 x 0.00267 ==> $6,127.92 ==> Result = $6,128
(4) Add $61,701 ==> $6,128 + $61,701 ==> Final Result = $67,829

Example 5:

(1) Policy is $39,351,800
(2) Subtract $25,000,000 ==> $39,351,800 - $25,000,000 ==> Result = $14,351,800
(3) Multiply by 0.00160 ==> $14,351,800 x 0.00160 ==> $22,962.88 ==> Result = $22,963
(4) Add $88,401 ==> $22,963 + $88,401 ==> Final Result = $111,364
