    Head insured = 100, Average animal value ($) = 2000, Coverage (%) = 80, Deductible (%) = 3 = 8 input(s) provided
  2. Calculate Total claim amount
    Total claim amount = mortalityClaimAfterDeductible + treatmentClaim
    4040 = $4,040
  3. Calculate Mortality claim
    Mortality claim
    3200 = $3,200
  4. Calculate Treatment claim
    Treatment claim = treatmentCosts * (coveragePct / 100)
    840 = $840
