The cost to insure equipment is billed on an annual basis when you request insurance.

Items added during the policy year, which begins November 1, will be prorated on a monthly basis. Rates will be charged for an entire month if coverage begins later than the 1st of the month. For instance, coverage requested from January 10 through February 9 will be billed for two months.

There is now a $5 minimum premium for Equipment Insurance.

Formulas for Rate Calculation

(Value/100)*$1.00 = Premium per year
(Annual Premium /12) * # of months = pro-rated monthly premium

Examples

Computer equipment worth $10,500 is insured for a whole policy year while doing UW work in France.
($10,500/$100)*1.00=$105 per year

Computer equipment worth $10,500 will be insured while in France from March 24 through June 6.
($105/12)*4=$35 Total premium for 4 months
