Carrier Rate Multipliers

Configure Carrier Specific Pricing Without Rebuilding Insurance Products

Request Demo

Every insurance carrier has a unique pricing strategy. While bureau organizations provide standardized loss costs and rating methodologies, carriers differentiate themselves by applying proprietary pricing factors, company multipliers, underwriting strategy, market conditions, and program specific adjustments. SelectRate Carrier Rate Multipliers allow insurance organizations to configure, manage, test, version, and deploy carrier specific pricing from one centralized commercial insurance rating platform. Rather than creating separate products for every carrier, organizations can maintain one product while applying carrier specific pricing dynamically during premium calculation.

What Are Carrier Rate Multipliers?

Carrier Rate Multipliers are configurable pricing factors that modify bureau based or proprietary insurance rates to reflect an individual carrier's pricing strategy.

These multipliers can be applied at multiple levels, including:

  • Carrier
  • Program
  • Product
  • State
  • Territory
  • Classification
  • Coverage
  • Industry
  • Risk Type

Carrier pricing becomes configurable business logic instead of application code.

Why Carrier Rate Multipliers Matter

Commercial insurance organizations frequently support multiple carrier partners.

Each carrier may have:

  • Different Pricing Strategies
  • Different Target Markets
  • Different Profitability Goals
  • Different Underwriting Guidelines
  • Different Geographic Strategies
  • Different Coverage Options

Carrier Rate Multipliers allow every carrier to maintain independent pricing while sharing the same underlying insurance product.

Multi Carrier Support

One insurance product can support multiple carriers simultaneously.

Example:

  • Carrier A – Multiplier 1.05
  • Carrier B – Multiplier 1.18
  • Carrier C – Multiplier 0.97

The rating engine automatically applies the appropriate multiplier during premium calculation.

Product Specific Pricing

Each commercial insurance product can maintain unique pricing.

General Liability
Workers Compensation
Commercial Property
Commercial Auto
Inland Marine
Builders Risk
Professional Liability
Cyber Liability
Umbrella
Excess Liability

Carrier pricing remains independent while sharing common product components.
