What Is An Insurance Premium?

Premiums are the amount you pay each month or yearly to keep your insurance. They come with policy, including health, home, and car. You pay to keep your policy in place. 

Premiums are determined by the risk of insuring an individual item. They’re usually counted as a percentage coverage amount or insurance limit. For help and advice, give us a call at August Vincent Insurance Agency in Huntley, IL.

Why Do You Need to Pay an Insurance Premium? 

Insurance companies need money to pay for their services. They have to have a certain amount of money in the reserve to pay for people’s claims on their policies. This is called a "Solvency Margin." 

Premiums also help insurance companies stay in business and continue to offer policies to other people. If policy users didn’t receive any money from premiums, they would lose money on every policy they sell so that they couldn’t stay in business long term. 

If you don’t pay your premiums in time, it will likely result in a cancellation of your policy, and you may not be able to get another one as easily. Some policies, such as critical illness insurance, have a one-time premium, but most have regular payments that you must make to keep the coverage active. 

Medical, dental, vision, life, disability, car, renters, homeowners, and other policies can help you protect your assets and your family from financial risk. By choosing the right insurance policy and keeping up with your payments, you can protect yourself from financial risk.
