1. What is the Icare Home Warranty Calculator?

The Icare Home Warranty Calculator computes the insurance premium for home warranty coverage based on a percentage of the contract value. It provides a quick and accurate way to determine warranty costs for residential properties.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the simple formula:

Where:

• \( Percentage \) — The insurance rate expressed as a percentage
• \( Contract\ Value \) — The total value of the home warranty contract

Explanation: The premium is calculated by multiplying the percentage rate (converted to decimal) by the total contract value.

3. Importance of Premium Calculation

Details: Accurate premium calculation is essential for proper budgeting, risk assessment, and ensuring adequate coverage for home warranty protection.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the percentage rate and contract value. Both values must be positive numbers. The percentage should be entered as a whole number (e.g., 2.5 for 2.5%).
