Total premium

$50,050

Monthly carry

How the math works

Base = contract/1000 × rate × (months/12). Rider adds 10% if storage coverage.

On $6.5M contract at $6/$1000 for 14 months: $45.5k base + $4.5k rider = $50k total, $3.6k/month. Shop aggressively — some projects have double-digit variance between carriers. Check coverage scope and soft-costs endorsement carefully.

  1. Enter construction contract value.
  2. Enter base premium rate per $1000.
  3. Enter construction months.
  4. Enter material storage rider (1=yes).
  5. Read total builders risk premium.
