Professional Indemnity Insurance Online Professional Indemnity Insurance Calculator

Our Professional Indemnity Insurance Calculator helps you estimate an appropriate professional indemnity insurance level of cover, also called the limit of indemnity. This matters because a claim alleging negligence, error, omission, misleading advice, breach of professional duty, or loss of documents can threaten your cash flow, business assets, and future earning capacity. The calculator provides a practical starting point for selecting a PI limit that aligns with your services, fees, clients, contracts, and risk profile.

How to complete the calculator for the best result

1. Professional profile: Select your profession. Then enter your annual fees or turnover and your largest single project or engagement value. Choose your typical client type. These inputs help estimate the scale of financial impact your work could influence.

2. Services and exposure: Confirm whether you provide advice only, design or specification, or certification and sign off. Add your level of outsourcing or subcontracting. Indicate whether you handle personal or health data, financial data, or both, and select the jurisdictions you serve. These factors increase or reduce potential third party loss severity.

3. Contracts and history: Choose any minimum PI limit required by contracts or regulators. Declare claims in the last five years. Select your retroactive exposure in years and whether you are on panels or preferred supplier lists. These inputs reflect claims history and claims made policy tail risk.

How to interpret the results

1. Recommended PI limit: Treat this as an estimate, not a quote. If your contracts specify a higher limit, the contract requirement usually sets the baseline.

2. JSON summary: Use this as a clear snapshot of your inputs and recommended limit when speaking with a broker or comparing policy options.
