About the Renters Insurance Cost Calculator
This free renters 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
The formula adds a base fee to a small percentage of your belongings' value, then adjusts for neighbourhood risk and deductible.
Worked example
$20,000 of belongings in a medium-risk area with a $500 deductible costs about $195 per year, roughly $16 per month. 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
Make a quick home inventory with photos and receipts. Ask for replacement-cost coverage and check if personal liability is included, since many landlords now require it.
Key factors that change your result
Cost depends on the value of your belongings, deductible and local risk. Policies often also include liability and temporary living expense cover. Take a quick inventory of your belongings and compare replacement-cost and actual-cash-value options.
