How Ontario Commercial Insurance Premiums Are Calculated

Boardwalk Insurance Sep 23, 2024

Pricing follows risk and clarity

Insurers price based on the likelihood and severity of losses, and on how confidently they can understand your operation. The more accurate the information, the more stable the outcome.

The main factors that influence premium

• Revenue and payroll, which are used as rating bases for many classes • Industry and operations, since some activities carry higher severity exposure • Location and building characteristics that influence property loss potential • Claims history and loss patterns over multiple years • Selected limits and deductibles, which change insurer exposure • Risk controls such as safety training, security systems, and maintenance discipline

What you can control before renewal

• Keep values and operations updated so you are not rated incorrectly • Show documentation of safety programs and loss prevention controls • Address recurring claim causes with real operational fixes • Present contracts and certificates accurately to avoid underwriting surprises
