What this calculator does
Build an adjustable car-insurance budget from a base premium, vehicle count, driver count, coverage factor and discount.
How to use the calculator
Use the inputs and units named in this form. Select Calculate after changing the values.
How the calculation works
Before-discount monthly budget = base premium x vehicles x driver adjustment x coverage factor. The existing planning model uses driver adjustment = 1 + 0.12 x (drivers - 1). The discount is then subtracted, and annual budget is monthly budget x 12. The 12% adjustment is a model assumption, not an insurer rating rule.
Worked example
With a base premium of 150, one vehicle, one driver, coverage factor 1.00 and a 10% discount, the monthly budget is 135 and the annual budget is 1,620. At two drivers, the model applies a 1.12 adjustment before the discount.
How to interpret the result
Compare the result with the assumptions and units shown above. The calculation uses the values entered into this page.
Assumptions and limitations
This is not an insurance quote. It does not model age, location, accident history, vehicle details, insurer rules or underwriting. Use a real quote as the base input and compare the result with the policy. The model does not determine eligibility or coverage.
Common mistakes
Check the units and time period before calculating. An error message means the result cannot be calculated from the current inputs.
Privacy
The calculation runs in your browser. This form needs the numerical inputs shown, not names, account numbers or passwords.
