How This Tool Works

Calculation Method

Auto Insurance by State reads State and returns the result shown on this page.

Site methodology

No unrelated authority link is added merely to make this page look sourced. Tool-specific external sources are shown only when they directly support the method, rate, or rule.

Assumptions to Verify

  • Inputs are treated exactly as entered.
  • Verify important decisions with current authoritative information.

Worked example: a 3-car accident at Texas minimums

Texas requires 30/60/25, so enter Texas and the tool returns $30k / $60k / $25k. Now run the numbers on a realistic crash: you rear-end two cars, three people claim injuries of $45,000, $38,000, and $22,000 (total $105,000), and the two vehicles need $18,000 and $9,000 in repairs (total $27,000).

Bodily injury works in two layers. Per person, your $30,000 cap covers less than the $45,000 first claim, so the insurer pays $30,000 there. Per accident, the $60,000 cap applies across all three claimants, and the insurer pays up to that cap: $30,000 + $30,000, then nothing more for the third claimant. That leaves $105,000 - $60,000 = $45,000 in injury costs that become your personal liability, collectable through wage garnishment or a lawsuit judgment.

Property damage fits inside its own cap: $27,000 of repairs is under the $25,000 limit? No, it exceeds it, so the insurer pays $25,000 and you owe the remaining $2,000. Total uninsured exposure for one ordinary commute crash: $45,000 + $2,000 = $47,000. The same crash under the 100/300/100 coverage most agents suggest would leave $0 of the injury bill unpaid, which is why the gap between the two tiers is usually under $20 per month.

Where the legal floor is not what it looks like

Three states break the pattern in ways the tool flags but cannot fully show. Florida's row reads 0/0/10: there is no required bodily injury coverage at all, just $10,000 property damage liability plus $10,000 of personal injury protection, so a Florida driver can legally hit someone and owe their medical bills entirely out of pocket. New Jersey's 0/0/5 is similar, with only a $5,000 property damage floor and PIP instead of bodily injury.

No-fault status changes who pays before the caps even matter. In Michigan (20/40/10 minimums) your own insurer pays your medical bills first regardless of fault, so the liability numbers describe less of the real payment flow than in an at-fault state like Georgia. Kentucky and Pennsylvania are choice states, meaning drivers can opt out of the no-fault system and into traditional tort coverage; two drivers in the same state with identical 25/50/25 policies can have materially different claim outcomes depending on that election. The tool reports the state rule as written; it cannot see which option a specific policy actually selected.
