In insurance, the gross annual premium refers to the total amount of premium paid by the policyholder for coverage over a one-year period before any deductions or credits are applied. It includes the base premium as well as any additional charges, such as fees for optional riders or increased coverage limits.
For example, if a policyholder purchases a home insurance policy with a base premium of $1,000 per year, and also adds a $100 rider for coverage of high-value jewelry, the gross annual premium would be $1,100.
Key features of gross annual premium:
• It represents the total cost of the insurance policy for a one-year period.
• It includes both the base premium and any additional charges, such as fees for optional coverage or riders.
• The gross annual premium is typically paid in one lump sum at the start of the coverage period.
• Deductions or credits may be applied to the gross annual premium, such as discounts for multiple policies or claims-free history.
• The amount of the gross annual premium is determined by various factors, such as the insured's age, location, claims history, and the level of coverage selected.
