Home Insurance - Understanding How They Calculate Your Premium And Using It To Your Advantage

The better your understanding of any subject, the more easily you can
position yourself for the greatest benefits. This is true of home
insurance. If you understand how insurance companies calculate your
home insurance rates, you'll be better equipped to position yourself
for the best price value. This article will help you do that…

Home insurance providers (Whether home owners or renters) are there to
make profit. Yes, they are there to render a service. However, you
must understand that they are primarily out to make a decent profit.
And like every good business, they'll not jeopardize their chances of
being profitable.

So what does this have to do with you? I'm glad you asked. If you have
a high likelihood of making a claim an insurance company's chances of
making a profit reduces by the same factor. So here's what they do to
ensure they stay profitable: They increase your premium according to
the risk they associate with insuring you.

To make things even clearer: Insurance companies look at the ratio of
insured persons who make a claim within a profile. If they've
discovered that out of every 500 insured persons within a given
profile A, 5 persons typically make a claim within a year, they'll
consider such a profile a higher risk than another, B, that averages
one claim out of every 300 insured persons annually.

So let's say they pay $30,000 per claim for a particular policy, they
can charge a premium of $150 per insured person for profile B and be
able to fulfill their obligation and still turn a profit. However,
they won't make any profit from profile B even if they take $500 per
insured person. Therefore, they may be compelled to take as much as
$650 or more in this case to make a profit.

This means that the higher the likelihood that people who fit your
profile will make a claim, the higher your premium has to be. Now,
what can you do about this?

First, stop everything that increases your chances of making a claim
in your home insurance. For example, live in low-crime neighborhoods,
have fire and security systems, etc.

Next, get and compare quotes from home insurance sites. These won't
change the factors. However, they'll help you take advantage of the
disparity in home insurance quotes given by different companies.
