Calculating your annual premium
Your annual premium is based on:
- Base premium rate
- Guaranteed value
- Discounts and surcharges (D or S)
The premium is calculated using this formula:
Annual premium = base premium rate × guaranteed value × D or S
Base premium rate
The base premium rate is determined at renewal time each year. It may change due to factors like past performance of the plan, changes to claim prices and the level of the Ontario Agricultural Products Insurance Fund.
Guaranteed value
Your guaranteed value is determined by multiplying your guaranteed production by the claim price.
Guaranteed value = guaranteed production × claim price
Discounts and surcharges
If you have had Production Insurance for more than one year, your premium rate may be discounted or surcharged. Discounts and surcharges are determined by comparing your individual claim rate for a commodity to the claim rate for the commodity as a whole.

Discounts and Surcharges.
