Educational estimator only; final premiums vary by insurer, regulation, and underwriting.
This estimator blends a base price with risk multipliers and capped discounts.
| Scenario | Coverage | Deductible | Driver | Miles | Claims | Expected affordability |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| City commuter | Full | $500 | Age 28, 7 yrs exp | 14,000 | 0 | Moderate |
| Low-mile garage | Standard | $1,000 | Age 40, 15 yrs exp | 6,500 | 0 | High |
| Young new driver | Liability | $500 | Age 19, 1 yr exp | 10,500 | 1 | Lower |
| Business use | Full | $1,500 | Age 35, 10 yrs exp | 18,500 | 0 | Moderate |

Vehicle value, claims, mileage, and location drive the biggest swings. In this model, each claim adds 18% to the claims factor. Mileage above 18,000 increases the mileage factor to 1.18, while low-mile drivers at 7,000 or less get 0.93. Area risk uses 0.94, 1.00, or 1.13, depending on your selection. Credit tier ranges from 0.92 to 1.22, which can change the result.
Coverage changes both protection and price. The coverage factor is 0.85 for liability-only, 1.00 for standard, and 1.22 for full. Deductibles also matter: $250 uses a 1.08 factor, $1,000 uses 0.90, and $2,000 uses 0.79, which can lower premiums if you can absorb more out-of-pocket cost. Vehicle age reduces the physical portion after year five, up to 25% in this estimator, reflecting lower replacement costs.
The risk multiplier combines driver age, experience, miles, claims, area risk, credit tier, use type, and parking. For example, drivers under 25 use 1.28 and drivers over 70 use 1.18. Experience under 2 years uses 1.22, while 10+ years uses 0.96. Business use applies 1.14, street parking applies 1.08, and high area risk applies 1.13. These factors multiply together, which is why small changes can compound quickly.
Discounts are additive but capped at 22% to keep outputs realistic. Multi-policy can add 6%, safe-driver adds 5%, and pay-in-full adds 4%. Anti-theft adds 4%, safety packages add 3%, dashcams add 2%, and paperless billing adds 1%. Even small credits help when applied to a full-year premium.
The score compares your monthly estimate to a benchmark: $55 for liability-only, $90 for standard, and $125 for full coverage. Lower monthly costs push the score higher, up to 95. Use the score to compare scenarios consistently, then validate with real insurer quotes. Run three what-if cases: higher deductible, lower miles, and safer parking. Keep the lowest-cost option that still meets your coverage needs overall.
No. It is an educational estimator that applies transparent factors to your inputs. Real carriers add underwriting rules, state fees, and eligibility checks before final pricing.
Try higher deductibles, fewer miles, safer parking, and eligible discounts like bundling or safe-driver programs. Also compare coverage levels to match your budget and risk tolerance.
More miles usually means more time on the road and higher exposure. This model increases the mileage factor above 12,000 and more sharply above 18,000.
Not here. Discounts stack but cap at 22% to prevent unrealistic outputs. Carriers often limit discounts too, depending on state rules and policy eligibility.
In some markets, credit-based tiers correlate with claim frequency and are used in rating. This tool treats credit tier as a proxy risk signal, which may not apply everywhere.
