Minnesota workers' compensation rates decreeasing in 2025.
Workers Comp Rates in Minnesota are competitive with the national averages and they have remained fairly steady for the past five years. MN rates are expected to decrease slightly over the course of 2024.

Workers' compensation rates wtill vary for the same class codes in Minnesota because insurance companies can apply policy credits and debits up to 25% to adjust their filed rates. More discounts may also be added to a policy depending on the size of payroll and overall claims experience.

Workers Comp Rates are an Art & Science
What influences my workers comp insurance cost?
Your State & Class Codes
Insurance companies file their "base manual rates" for approval with each state for all class codes. Rate recommendations are generally made to the state and carriers annually by the National Council on Compensation Insurance.
Your Claims or Losses
Employee claims are reported to NCCI and statistically compared with all other similar type businesses using the same class code in each state. An Experience Modification Rate may apply to your business after a few years of coverage.
Prior Experience & Coverage
Insurance company underwriters are permitted to make premium rate adjustments based on unique factors about your business, safety practices, and management experience in most states.
Policy Credits and Debits
Insurance companies may apply policy credits and debits to the base manual rates. Additional discounts can be applied to premium as the total payroll & premium increases.
Smart Agents with expertise in workers' compensation insurance utilize this information to negotiate your insurance rates with underwriters. A good narrative about your business helps insurance companies justify a better price.
