About the Home Insurance Cost Calculator
This free home insurance cost calculator helps people in the United States get a quick, private estimate before they talk to a lender, insurer, employer or advisor. There is no signup, nothing is stored on our servers and every result updates instantly in your browser.
How this calculator works
Premium is estimated as home value multiplied by a risk rate (low, medium or high area risk), adjusted for deductible choice and a modest surcharge for older homes, because aging roofs and wiring increase claim likelihood.
Worked example
A $350,000, 20-year-old home in a medium-risk area with a $1,000 deductible lands near $2,700 per year. Change any input above to see how the result moves, which is the fastest way to understand which factor matters most for you.
Tips to get a better result
Replacement cost, not market value, determines how much dwelling coverage you need. Improve security, update the roof and bundle policies to lower the cost. Flood and earthquake usually need separate policies.
Key factors that change your result
Rebuild cost matters more than market value. Location risks such as wind, hail, wildfire or flood change the price, and standard policies exclude flood and earthquake. A higher deductible and a newer roof or wiring can reduce your premium.
Accuracy and limits
