Premium Calculation - SME Package

Pricing Methods

Method 1: Simplified Thresholds (Current Business Practice)

For standard SME Package policies, the following maximum thresholds apply before underwriter referral:

Section Maximum Sum Insured (Auto-Approve)
PAR & BI (Sections 01, 02) Below AED 2,000,000
Public Liability (Section 07) Below AED 2,000,000
Workmen Compensation (Section 08) Estimated wages below AED 250,000
Fidelity Guarantee (Section 04) Below AED 500,000
Money (Section 03) Below AED 500,000

Application: - If ALL sections are within thresholds = Standard rating applies - If ANY section exceeds threshold = Underwriter referral required - Quick pricing for small to medium businesses

Above Threshold Requirements: - Detailed risk assessment per section - Business documentation review - Custom rating factors applied - Underwriter approval needed

Method 2: Detailed Rating Method

Based on 77 policies with calculable rates from Premia UAT database.

Product 1061 - SME Package

Metric Value
Minimum Rate 0.024%
Maximum Rate 0.60%
Average Rate 0.097%
Median Rate 0.077%
Sample Size 77 policies

Note: SME Package has the lowest average rate (0.077% median) among all general insurance products due to high aggregate sum insured across 8 sections.

Premium Calculation Methodology

SME Package uses section-by-section rating with aggregate premium:

Section 01 Premium = Property SI × Property Rate
Section 02 Premium = BI SI × BI Rate
Section 03 Premium = Money SI × Money Rate
Section 04 Premium = Fidelity SI × Fidelity Rate
Section 05 Premium = Machinery SI × Machinery Rate
Section 06 Premium = Electronics SI × Electronics Rate
Section 07 Premium = Liability SI × Liability Rate
Section 08 Premium = PA SI × PA Rate

Total Base Premium = Sum of all section premiums
Final Premium = Base Premium + Loadings - Discounts
