1. What is Motorcycle Insurance Premium?

The motorcycle insurance premium is the amount you pay for your insurance policy, calculated based on various risk factors that affect the likelihood of claims. It's determined by multiplying the base rate by risk factors specific to you and your motorcycle.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the following formula:

Where:

• Base Rate — The starting premium amount before risk factors
• Age Factor — Multiplier based on rider's age

• Claims Factor — Multiplier based on previous insurance claims

Explanation: Each factor increases or decreases the base rate based on statistical risk assessment.
