Event Insurance Calculator

This calculator builds a rough event-insurance quote from five separate coverage lines, each estimated with its own simplified formula. General liability starts from a per-guest rate that scales with declared risk — $1.50/guest for social events and weddings up to $5.00/guest for concerts — reflecting how insurers price higher-energy, higher-incident-risk gatherings more expensively; a $150 minimum premium floor applies regardless of how small the guest count is. If alcohol is being served, liquor liability coverage is added at 25% of the general liability figure, matching the common industry practice of pricing liquor liability as a liability-cost multiplier rather than a flat fee. Cancellation coverage estimates the underlying event cost (using a per-guest spend that varies by event type, since weddings and corporate events run at very different price points) and prices coverage at 1.5% of that estimated total — a placeholder for "cost to cancel," not what your actual planned budget is.

Property damage coverage is priced at 0.3% of your entered venue value, and workers' comp for temporary staff assumes a fixed crew of 10 people at $15/hr for 8 hours, priced at a flat 2% rate — a stand-in figure that won't reflect your actual temp-staffing plan if it differs from that assumption. The $1M/$2M general-liability coverage limits shown are standard industry minimums many venues require, not calculated figures. Because every rate here is a generalized estimate rather than an actual carrier's underwriting formula, use this as a ballpark for budgeting conversations and always get a bindable quote from a licensed event-insurance broker before your event.
