How your Workers' Comp rate is set
Your NCCI class code classifies the work your employees do by injury risk — it's the single biggest driver of your Workers' Comp base rate. The filed loss cost above is the only public, regulator-approved piece; your actual premium is:
Filed loss cost × carrier LCM × experience modifier × (payroll ÷ $100)
Most states use NCCI's loss-cost guidance; independent-bureau states (e.g., California/WCIRB, New York/NYCIRB, Pennsylvania/PCRB) and monopolistic state funds (e.g., Ohio BWC) file their own — which is why the same class code carries different filed rates by state above.
Methodology
Each loss cost is drawn from a public state-DOI rate filing (via the state's SERFF portal) or a public NCCI State Advisory Forum summary, traceable by its filing reference. Loss costs are per $100 of payroll before the carrier's loss-cost multiplier; your actual rate depends on your carrier's LCM, experience modifier, and state. No proprietary NCCI manual data is reproduced — only figures states have published in public regulatory filings. See our full sourcing policy.
