General Liability Coverage Limit Calculator
Estimate the recommended general liability coverage limit for your business based on revenue, assets, industry risk, and business size.
Annual Business Revenue ($)
Total Business Assets ($)
Number of Employees
Industry Risk Level
-- Select Industry Risk -- Low Risk (Consulting, IT, Finance) Moderate Risk (Retail, Real Estate, Marketing) High Risk (Manufacturing, Wholesale, Healthcare) Very High Risk (Construction, Contracting, Trucking)
Do contracts require a minimum coverage limit?
No Yes – $1,000,000 Yes – $2,000,000 Yes – $5,000,000
Does your business interact with the public regularly?
No Yes
Calculate Recommended Limit

#### Formula
Step 1 – Base Exposure:
Base Exposure = (Annual Revenue × 0.01) + (Total Assets × 0.05) + (Employees × $2,000)
Step 2 – Risk-Adjusted Exposure:
Risk-Adjusted Exposure = Base Exposure × Industry Risk Multiplier × Public Interaction Multiplier
Step 3 – Recommended Per-Occurrence Limit:
Raw Limit = max(Risk-Adjusted Exposure, Contract Minimum, $1,000,000)
Rounded up to the nearest standard tier: $1M, $2M, $3M, $5M, or $10M.
Step 4 – Aggregate Limit:
Aggregate Limit = min(Per-Occurrence Limit × 2, $10,000,000)
