Reflects the July 1, 2026 NCCI advisory loss costs accepted by TDI in Commissioner's Bulletin B-0001-26 (issued February 27, 2026), an overall average 3.8% decrease from the July 1, 2025 level.
Texas is the only state where workers' comp is not mandatory — employers can choose to be non-subscribers, though most carry coverage. Rates are built on NCCI advisory loss costs, which the Texas Department of Insurance (TDI) reviews annually. TDI accepted NCCI's filing for an average 3.8% decrease to loss costs effective July 1, 2026 (Commissioner's Bulletin B-0001-26), following an 11.5% decrease the year before — a multi-year run of decreases.

Understanding Texas Workers' Comp Rates
Texas is the workers' comp outlier: it is the only state where private employers can legally choose not to carry workers' compensation insurance at all. The Texas Department of Insurance, Division of Workers' Compensation (TDI-DWC) regulates the system, but coverage is elective for most private employers. An employer that carries coverage is a "subscriber"; one that opts out is a "non-subscriber." Non-subscribers must file an annual DWC Form-005 notice with the Division (the filing window runs February 1 through April 30 each year) and post notice to employees, and they give up the exclusive-remedy protection and the common-law defenses (contributory negligence, assumption of risk, fellow-servant) that subscribers keep — so an injured worker can sue a non-subscriber directly in court.
On rates, Texas is a competitive, file-and-use state rather than an administered-rate or mandatory-loss-cost state. NCCI serves as the licensed advisory and statistical organization, but insurers are not required to use NCCI's numbers. TDI has accepted NCCI's advisory loss-cost filing effective July 1, 2026, which carries an overall average 3.8% decrease to the loss-cost level. For policies effective on or after July 1, 2026, each carrier must price using one of two bases: its own independent, insurer-specific classification relativities, or NCCI's July 1, 2026 advisory loss costs. That choice — plus the carrier's loss-cost multiplier, your experience modifier, and schedule credits — is why two Texas carriers can quote the same class code very differently.
Subscriber vs Non-Subscriber: The Texas Decision
Because coverage is optional, the first Texas decision is not which carrier but whether to subscribe at all. Subscribing buys exclusive remedy: an injured employee's workers' comp benefits are generally the sole recovery against the employer, capping the employer's liability and barring most negligence suits. Opting out as a non-subscriber removes that shield — the employer can be sued for work injuries and loses the three classic common-law defenses, which in a serious-injury case can mean exposure far larger than a comp premium. Many large Texas employers self-fund an ERISA occupational-injury plan as non-subscribers, but that is a sophisticated, lawyered arrangement, not a default for a small business.
Non-subscribers also take on reporting duties. They must file the annual notice of non-coverage with TDI-DWC, notify employees of non-subscriber status in writing and by workplace posting, and report certain work-related injuries and fatalities (DWC Form-007). Failing to file or post can add penalties on top of the lost legal protection. A small business weighing the option should price a subscriber policy using the rate table on this page before assuming non-subscription saves money — the premium is often modest relative to a single uninsured-injury lawsuit.
How Texas Class Codes and Rates Are Set
Texas uses the standard NCCI four-digit classification system — the same codes (8810 Clerical, 8742 Outside Sales, 9082 Restaurant NOC, 5183 Plumbing NOC, and roughly 600 others) used across most of the country — but the dollar amount attached to each code is set competitively, not by a single mandatory rate. Carriers either file their own classification relativities or adopt NCCI's advisory loss costs, then apply their loss-cost multiplier. Because Texas does not impose a uniform manual rate, shopping the same class code across carriers can produce a wider spread than in administered-rate states.
Texas annual filings run on a July 1 cycle. The rates shown on this page have been carried forward to that July 1, 2026 level: TDI accepted the filing in Commissioner's Bulletin B-0001-26 on February 27, 2026, and the 3.8% average decrease has been applied to the July 1, 2025 benchmark that previously appeared here (which itself reflected the 11.5% decrease TDI approved for July 1, 2025). The July 1, 2026 NCCI advisory loss-cost filing accepted by TDI reflects an average 3.8% decrease, but that is a statewide average across all classes — your specific code may move more or less, and the figure on this page is a filing-based benchmark, not a binding quote. Final premium still depends on payroll, the carrier's loss-cost multiplier, your experience modification factor, schedule rating credits or debits, and minimum premium rules.

How to find a Texas workers' comp class code from a job description
There is no Texas workers' comp class code for a job title. NCCI files the classifications used in Texas, and the NCCI rules are what an auditor applies, and what gets classified is the employer's business — not the separate employments, occupations or operations inside it. "Machinist", "CNC operator", "general construction labor" and "data entry" are therefore work that sits inside whichever classification describes the business, not values you can look up on their own.
NCCI publishes Texas's classifications in the Basic Manual for Texas (the Texas edition, amended by NCCI item filings that TDI accepts by Commissioner's Order — Item 01-TX-2024 landed under Order 2025-9216 on March 27, 2025, and Item B-1451 establishes Code 8871 in Texas effective July 1, 2026). To confirm the classification for a specific business, use the TDI Texas Workers' Compensation Rate Guide, published by the Texas Department of Insurance rather than by NCCI — that is the filed authority for Texas, and a code quoted from another state's manual is not. TDI accepts the filed manual and publishes the rate guide, but it says plainly that its Property and Casualty Lines Office “answers inquiries about the workers' compensation rate guide and manuals — not claims or classification codes”. A Texas classification question therefore goes to the carrier that assigned the code and to NCCI, which files the Texas classifications as TDI's advisory organization, rather than to the department's rate-guide line.
Texas classifications are Texas's own. TDI states that the Texas classifications “may differ significantly from those used in other states because they are specific to Texas businesses” and that companies must use Texas classifications — so a code carried in from another state's NCCI manual is not usable on a Texas policy, and NCCI publishes the Texas pages, including a Texas Table of classifications by hazard group, separately from its multistate ones. Texas also stopped using relativities as a rate basis for policies incepting on or after July 1, 2020 (Commissioner's Order No. 2020-6354), so each classification is now priced as a filed loss cost multiplied by the carrier's own loss cost multiplier, which is why two carriers quote the same code differently.
