Calculation Methodology ▼
How This Calculator Works
  • Annual Premium = (Annual Payroll / 100) × Base WC Rate × Experience Modification Rate (EMR)
  • PEO Premium = (Annual Payroll / 100) × PEO Pooled Rate × PEO Pooled EMR Factor
  • EMR Projection: Based on NCCI split-point formula. Claims history impacts future EMR over a 3-year rolling window.
  • PEO Discount: PEO rates use a discount factor of 0.6 applied to direct market rates, reflecting pooled buying power.
  • 3-Year Trend: Direct carrier premiums trend at +3%/year (10-year average). PEO premiums trend at +2%/year due to scale.
  • Safety Credit: A 5% premium credit is applied when a formal safety program is in place.

Disclaimer: This calculator provides estimates for educational purposes. Actual premiums depend on your specific underwriting, claims history, and carrier selection.

Workers' comp in Wyoming: how the system works

In Wyoming, workers' compensation is not sold on the private market. Employers buy coverage directly through the Wyoming Department of Workforce Services, Workers' Compensation Division, the state's monopolistic fund. Wyoming is one of only four monopolistic states, so the usual private-carrier shopping does not apply and rates are set by the state fund rather than through NCCI.

For roofing and construction employers, the class code drives the rate more than anything else: roofing carries some of the highest workers' comp rates of any trade because of fall exposure. Wherever you operate, the experience modification rate is the biggest lever you control, and a cleaner claims history compounds into lower premiums year over year.
