Workers’ Compensation Insurance: What Should Small Business Owners Expect to Pay?

If you’re a small business owner, one of the most common questions we hear is:

👉 “How much does Workers’ Comp cost?”

The answer depends on your business—but here’s a realistic breakdown:

✔️ Many small businesses pay between $45 to $86 per month on average
✔️ In California, it’s typically calculated at about $1.30–$1.50 per $100 of payroll
✔️ Higher-risk industries like construction or trucking can pay significantly more
✔️ Lower-risk businesses (office, consulting) often pay much less

📊 Example:
If your payroll is $100,000, your Workers’ Comp premium could range roughly from $1,300 to $2,500 annually, depending on your industry and claims history.

⚠️ Important Update for 2026:
Workers’ Comp rates in California are trending upward again due to rising medical costs and inflation, so it’s more important than ever to review your policy

That’s why Key Employee Coverage is so important—it can help protect your business from the financial impact when the unexpected happens. It’s not just about covering costs; it’s about making sure your team and your dreams stay on track.
