Kansas commercial insurance rate filings (2026)
Every commercial-insurance carrier writing business in Kansas files its loss costs and rating values with the state's insurance regulator — the primary-source records that drive every commercial quote in Kansas. This page summarizes the 1 active filings we track for Kansas across 1 line(s) of business and 1 classification(s).
How Workers' Comp rates are set in Kansas
Kansas runs a private Workers' Comp market. Rate filings are reviewed by the Kansas Insurance Department. We track 1 distinct classification(s) for Kansas across 1 active filing(s). Workers' Comp loss costs are filed by NCCI in most states or by an independent state rating bureau; your actual premium is that filed loss cost multiplied by your carrier's loss-cost multiplier (LCM), your experience modifier, and your payroll divided by $100 — so two Kansas businesses in the same classification can pay very different rates. Comparing quotes from multiple carriers is the only way to see how those multipliers differ for your specific operation.
The lines represented are Workers Compensation. The most-recent Kansas filing we track is effective January 2026. Every row below links to its SERFF tracking number so the Kansas regulator record can be verified.
