What Is Workers’ Compensation Insurance?
Workers’ compensation insurance, also known as workman’s comp or workers’ comp, gives your employees benefits if they get a work-related injury or illness. These benefits can help:
- Cover their medical care
- Replace most of their lost wages if they take time to recover
- Provide disability benefits
- Pay for their funeral if they lose their life
Workers’ comp also has benefits for you, as a small business owner. If your injured employee or their family sues your business, it can help cover your legal costs.

How Much Is Workers’ Compensation Insurance?
Insurance companies use a number of different factors to come up with your workers’ compensation insurance cost, such as your:
- Payroll
- Industry
- Employees' type of work
- Claims history
Every small business is unique. So your workers' comp cost will most likely be different than other companies.
You can use this simple formula to estimate your workers’ comp insurance cost:
The National Council on Compensation Insurance assigns classification code rates based on the type of job workers do. And if your business has a history of claims, this could increase your workers’ compensation cost.
Don't forget this is a simplified calculation just to give you an estimate. An insurance company's actual calculation is more complex, but you can get a workers' comp quote to find out your actual cost.
** This is a simplified calculation for educational purposes only. Actual premium calculations can be more complex. Experience mods are subject to state requirements and do not apply to every policy.
