Let's review your policy together! We won't say your policy is 'bad'—we'll just flag what looks missing or worth checking.

Educational Standard: This tool classifies policy parameters as Reviewed, Worth Reviewing, Not Provided, or Not Applicable. We never declare a policy definitively inadequate.

Step 1: Select Policy to Audit

Choose which policy line you want to benchmark against standard risk standards.

$100,000

The maximum dollar amount your insurer will pay out under this policy section.

Worth Investigating

What This Means

A classification of Worth Reviewing does not mean your policy is defective or that you made a mistake:

  • Missing Information Gaps: Often, policy documents omit key endorsements (like water backup or true own-occupation definitions) unless specifically requested by the policyholder.
  • Inflation Drift: Construction materials and medical costs rise 4–7% annually. A limit set 5 years ago may have experienced significant purchasing power erosion.
  • Opportunity to Save or Shield: Reviewing these items with your licensed carrier allows you to plug vulnerabilities before a claim occurs.

How We Evaluated Your Policy

1
Limit Adequacy Check: Liability ceiling compared against modern civil litigation averages ($300k+ recommended).
2
Deductible vs Liquid Cash: Deductible evaluated to ensure out-of-pocket payment remains within reach.
3
Essential Rider Detection: Audit for high-frequency denied claims (water damage, off-premises tech, replacement cost).

Important Assumptions

Policy Language Governs

Exact terms, exclusions, and statutory endorsements in your physical declarations page supersede any diagnostic estimate.

State Regulations

Mandatory statutory limits (PIP, uninsured motorist) vary across state jurisdictions.

Things You May Want to Review

1
Request Your Policy Declarations Page: This 1–2 page document summarizes your exact limits, deductibles, and endorsement codes.
2
Ask for Flood and Water Endorsement Pricing: Water damage from backup drains is rarely more than $30–$50/year to add.

How This Calculator Works

Compares the limit and deductible you enter with simple benchmarks and lists the items worth reviewing. It does not read your policy.

The rules

  1. Auto: bodily injury liability under $250,000 per occurrence is flagged; a deductible above $1,500 is flagged; uninsured/underinsured motorist limits are always listed to check against your liability limits.
  2. Home: a dwelling limit under $300,000 is flagged; water backup cover and extended replacement cost are always listed to check.
  3. Renters, health and life: your limit and deductible are shown for reference, without a benchmark.

Frequently Asked Questions: Coverage Ratio Calculator

Expert mathematical answers, formula explanations, and related comparison guides.

What is the difference between split limits and combined single limits?
Split limits divide coverage into per-person bodily injury, per-accident bodily injury, and property damage (e.g. 250/500/100), while a combined single limit (CSL) provides one pool of funds for all damages. Learn more in our guide on Coverage vs Limits and estimate your liability rates with the Car Insurance Calculator.
When should someone purchase an umbrella liability policy?
If your net worth, home equity, and future retirement earnings exceed your primary auto and homeowner liability limits ($300k - $500k), an umbrella policy is essential. Review your exposure in our 8-Point Policy Health Check.
How do sub-limits restrict payouts on valuable property?
Homeowners policies place restrictive internal dollar caps (often $1,500 to $2,500) on jewelry, firearms, and silverware for theft. To protect full appraised value, you must schedule individual items via an endorsement. See Home Replacement Cost Calculator.
