What businesses typically pay for Workers’ Comp insurance
Workers’ Compensation can cost as little as $12.20 for some low-risk businesses. About 50% of NEXT customers pay between $25 and $150 per month.**
There are several factors that determine how much you’ll pay for workers’ comp, including:
- How high you set your limits — If you want more coverage, you’ll usually pay a higher premium.
- Your business operations — Low-risk businesses typically have lower insurance costs because they are less likely to have a serious insurance claim. Higher-risk jobs, such as construction contractors, have higher premiums because there is more potential for an injury or property damage.
- Your insurance claims history — If you have previous claims, you might have to pay more for coverage with a new policy.
