We use a formula P1Million x 100%(-x Xyear exceeding %)
where P= Premium amount
X= Age of car calculated below
X= 5% – not exceeding 6 months.
X= 15% -exceeding 6 months but not one year
X= 20%- exceeding 1 year but not two years
X= 30%- exceeding 2 years but not 3 years
X= 40% – exceeding 3 years but not 4 years
X= 50% excluding 4 years but not 5 years.
Let’s solve some mathematics P1 million dimes hundred percent minus X year exceeding %
For one year old = 20% then 100-20=80%.
P1 million X 80%=P800000
we also have own manage and theft 1.25% to 3.75%.
Theft only 1%
Fire only 0.5%
Deductible of 0.5% os Sum Issued(SI)
if your damage factor stands at 7.5% then P800000X3.75%=P30000
