How much is workers' comp insurance for class code 8055?

It depends on the state, and none of the state filings transcribed on this site lists class code 8055, so this site shows no dollar figure for it — only a relative cost index ranking the 47 rated states. Your premium is payroll ÷ 100 × your carrier's rate × your experience modification; ask a licensed agent for a quote. North Dakota, Ohio, Washington and Wyoming are not included. Each is a monopolistic state fund that sets premium on its own basis rather than on an NCCI class-code rate per $100 of payroll, so there is no comparable figure to average or rank.

Filed Figures Published

states

Two kinds of number appear here — neither is a quote.

A filed figure is copied from the state’s own regulator or rating bureau, with the filing and effective date beside it. A filed loss cost is not a rate: your insurer multiplies it by its own loss cost multiplier before applying your experience modification. A cost index ranks states against the median state (1.00); it is modelled, it is not a price, and it is the only figure shown for states whose per-class filings we have not been able to transcribe. We stopped publishing modelled per-$100 estimates after measuring them against the filings — read the calibration measurement.

Your actual premium depends on the carrier's rates, experience modification factor, schedule credits, payroll, claims history, and underwriting. WorkersCompCost.com is not a licensed insurance broker — confirm binding rates with a licensed agent in your state.
