Home insurance premium estimator

What homeowners insurance costs in your state, and whether what you pay is out of line.

Is your dwelling coverage actually enough to rebuild — and what a shortfall costs at claim time.

What a higher deductible really saves, how long it takes to pay off, and what a storm deductible actually costs.

Did your renewal go up more than premiums did across your state — and what to do about it.

All six limits on your policy against what the standard form and regulators say to expect — including the liability limit nobody looks at.

Average premium: $4,868/ yr; At $300,000 of dwelling coverage.
Standard deductible: $1,000; Applies to everyday claims.
Storm deductible — separate, and much larger: $6,000(2% of coverage); What you would pay out of pocket on $300,000 of coverage before a storm claim pays anything — not the $1,000 above.
Insurer of last resort: Kansas FAIR Plan (Kansas All-Industry Placement Facility); Kansas' insurer of last resort: a not-for-profit association formed by Kansas insurers to write basic property coverage for applicants who cannot obtain it in the voluntary market. It is materially narrower than a standard homeowners policy - a property-only form with theft and personal liability available as options rather than built in - and its limits are capped, with coverage unable to exceed 100% of actual cash value or present market value, whichever is less, and unable to exceed a recent purchase price absent evidence of increased value. Because it is a fallback rather than a competitor, a Kansas homeowner who can still buy in the voluntary market will almost always do better there.
