How Workers' Comp rates are set in North Dakota
North Dakota runs a monopolistic Workers' Comp market. Coverage is available only through Workforce Safety & Insurance (WSI). Rate filings are reviewed by the North Dakota Insurance Department. The governing authority is NDCC Title 26.1 (Insurance) · NDCC Title 65 (Workforce Safety and Insurance). You can confirm any North Dakota carrier or agent is licensed with the state's license-lookup tool. We track 1 distinct classification(s) for North Dakota 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 North Dakota 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 North Dakota filing we track is effective July 2025. Every row below links to its SERFF tracking number so the North Dakota regulator record can be verified.
