New York workers' compensation rates expected to be steady in 2023.

New York's average cost for workers' compensation coverage should be relatively flat in 2023. A recent study conducted by the Department of Consumer Affairs indicates that New York is currently the 4th highest state, on average, for workers' comp rates. NY was number 5th in 2012 and 2016. It ranked 2nd in 2020. NY Rates are about 69% higher than the national median.

The workers' compensation system in NY is administered by NYCIRB. New York is a Loss Cost state which means that the NY Rating Board issues new manual rates for workers' compensation each year (Usually around October 1st). Every insurance carrier must utilize these manual rates to develop premium. However, many of our insurance company partners offer additional policy discounts and premium credits up to 25% for our New York policyholders.

Workers Comp Rates are an Art & Science

What influences my workers comp insurance cost?

Your State & Class Codes

Insurance companies file their "base manual rates" for approval with each state for all class codes. Rate recommendations are generally made to the state and carriers annually by the National Council on Compensation Insurance.

Your Claims or Losses

Employee claims are reported to NCCI and statistically compared with all other similar type businesses using the same class code in each state. An Experience Modification Rate may apply to your business after a few years of coverage.

Prior Experience & Coverage

Insurance company underwriters are permitted to make premium rate adjustments based on unique factors about your business, safety practices, and management experience in most states.

Policy Credits and Debits

Insurance companies may apply policy credits and debits to the base manual rates. Additional discounts can be applied to premium as the total payroll & premium increases.

Smart Agents with expertise in workers' compensation insurance utilize this information to negotiate your insurance rates with underwriters. A good narrative about your business helps insurance companies justify a better price.
