Flood Insurance Premium Calculator
NFIP flood insurance transitioned to Risk Rating 2.0 in 2021-2023. Premiums now tied to property-specific risk vs flat zone rates. This calculator estimates typical premium by zone, coverage, and elevation.
Estimated annual premium
$1,780
Building portion
$1,380
Contents portion
$300
How the math works
AE zone, $250K building, $100K contents, 1 ft above BFE: ~$1,480/yr. VE (coastal) premium doubles. X zone (low-risk): $400-$700 preferred policy.
Elevation above BFE is the biggest lever — each foot drops premium 8-15%. Elevation certificates cost $400-$900 but can save thousands in annual premium.
How to Use
- Pick flood zone (X, AE, VE, etc.) and enter building + contents coverage.
- Enter base flood elevation vs finished floor.
- See estimated annual premium.
