Formula used

This tool estimates a monthly-equivalent premium using an age-banded base rate per $1,000, then applies multipliers and add-ons.

RiskPremium = (Coverage/1000) × BaseRate × Multipliers × Factors
PercentRider = RiskPremium × RiderPercent
AccidentalRider = (AccidentalAmount/1000) × AccidentalRate × PaymentFactor
LoadedPremium = (RiskPremium + PercentRider + AccidentalRider) × (1 + AdminLoad%)
MonthlyEquivalent = LoadedPremium + PolicyFee
PerPayment = MonthlyEquivalent × 12 / PaymentsPerYear

Base rates and factors are illustrative for planning and comparisons.
