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: $3,088/ yr; At $300,000 of dwelling coverage.
Standard deductible: $1,000; Applies to everyday claims.
Storm deductible — separate, and much larger: $3,000(1% 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: New Mexico FAIR Plan (New Mexico Property Insurance Program); Established by the New Mexico Legislature in 1969 and operated as a small insurer in its own right -- it underwrites applications, issues policies and adjusts its own claims. Every licensed property insurer in New Mexico must be a member and is subject to assessment. Coverage is deliberately basic: fire, extended coverage, and vandalism/malicious mischief, with nothing broader offered. The residential limit was raised from $350,000 to $750,000 by the Superintendent of Insurance in 2025, and the commercial limit from $1 million to $2 million, in direct response to wildfire-driven market withdrawal. Since November 4, 2025 an applicant must sign an affidavit at both application and renewal confirming a voluntary-market declination. Scale is small -- roughly 7,200 residential and 280 commercial policyholders statewide -- but growing, and the Legislature appropriated $10 million in 2025 to help FAIR Plan homeowners fund wildfire mitigation.
