About this calculator

The combined ratio is the standard measure of an insurer's underwriting profitability — it adds incurred losses and operating expenses together and divides by earned premium: (Losses + Expenses) / Earned Premium. A combined ratio below 100% means the insurer made an underwriting profit (it collected more in premiums than it paid out and spent); above 100% means it lost money on underwriting alone, before any investment income is counted.

Analysts, investors, and insurance companies themselves track the combined ratio to judge how disciplined an insurer's pricing and claims management are, separate from how well its investment portfolio performs. This calculator takes incurred losses, underwriting expenses, and earned premium and returns the combined ratio as a percentage.
