How to calculate builder risk insurance cost

This calculator finds the cost of builder's risk insurance by multiplying a project's insured value by the applicable insurance rate.

How the calculation works

Insurance cost = Insured project value × Insurance rate. The rate is typically expressed as a percentage or per-thousand-dollar figure set by the insurer based on project type and risk factors.

Example

A project with a $500,000 insured value and a 0.4% insurance rate: Insurance cost = $500,000 × 0.004 = $2,000.

Pro Tips for Builder Risk Insurance Cost

  1. Builder's risk rates vary by construction type, location, project duration, and coverage scope — get an actual quote rather than assuming a generic rate.
  2. Confirm what perils are covered (fire, theft, weather, vandalism) since coverage scope affects both the rate and the value of the policy.

Common Builder Risk Insurance Cost Mistakes to Avoid

  • Assuming a flat percentage rate applies universally, when actual builder's risk rates vary significantly by project type, location, and insurer.
