What each input means

Insured acres
Total number of acres to insure against hail damage.
Expected yield (bu/acre)
Anticipated bushels per acre for the insured crop.
Coverage price ($/bu)
Dollar value per bushel used to set liability (often the projected harvest price).
Rate per $100 liability
Premium rate per $100 of liability — varies by county, crop, and insurer.
Coverage level (%)
Percentage of full liability you choose to cover (50-100 %).
Deductible (%)
Optional deductible that reduces premium — each 5 % saves roughly 10 % on premium.

What each result means

Total liability ($)
Maximum payout if 100 % of the crop is destroyed (acres × yield × price).
Covered liability ($)
Liability after applying your chosen coverage level.
Annual premium ($)
Estimated premium for the crop season after deductible credit.
Premium per acre ($)
Premium cost divided by insured acres.
Cost per bushel ($)
Premium cost expressed per expected bushel — useful for break-even analysis.

How this is calculated

Worked example, using the default values

  1. Identify Input Parameters
    4 parameters
    Insured acres = 160, Expected yield (bu/acre) = 180, Coverage price ($/bu) = 5.5, Rate per $100 liability = 6 = 6 input(s) provided
  2. Calculate Annual premium
    Annual premium = basePremium * (1 - deductibleCredit)
    9504 = $9,504
  3. Calculate Total liability
    Total liability = acres * expectedYield * coveragePrice
    158400 = $158,400
  4. Calculate Covered liability
    Covered liability = totalLiability * coverageMultiplier
    158400 = $158,400
