How Freelance Insurance Costs Are Estimated

Insurance premiums vary by coverage type, risk level, professional category, annual revenue, and coverage limits. Estimates are based on industry averages for each profession tier.

Total Monthly Premium = Health + E&O + General Liability + Disability + Cyber
E&O Premium ≈ Annual Revenue × 0.5–2% (depending on profession risk tier)
Disability Premium ≈ 1–3% of Annual Income (for 60% income replacement)
Health Insurance: ACA marketplace plans range $300–$700/month for individual coverage in 2026
Annual Insurance Budget = Total Monthly Premium × 12 (tax-deductible as business expense)

Actual premiums depend on your specific location, claims history, coverage limits, and insurer. These are market estimates for planning purposes.
