Your vehicle, then your budget choices.

Details entered on the homepage appear here. You can edit them before continuing.

Vehicle details are optional context. Confirm the state below: this estimator uses the state benchmark, coverage and cushion—not ZIP-specific or vehicle-specific insurer pricing.

These are broad historical averages, not a specific policy or state-minimum rate. Liability includes no-fault coverage where reported.

Your chosen assumption, not an insurer adjustment or a prediction of rate increases. No cushion level is recommended.

Vehicle details are shown for reference. Calculator selections are not saved to your account.

your next mile.

Check your vehicle details, then select your state, coverage and planning cushion.

A state average is a reference point, not a price for your individual driving profile.

THE METHOD

How your estimate works.

01

Start with published data

Your state and coverage select a historical annual benchmark. All 50 states and D.C. are included.

02

Add your planning cushion

The upper amount adds the percentage you choose. It creates a budgeting band, not a statistical quote range.

03

See monthly and annual amounts

Annual amounts are divided by 12. Displayed results are rounded to whole dollars for readability.

BEFORE YOU REQUEST A REAL QUOTE

Your actual price
can be different.

The source data does not price your individual age, driving history, mileage, ZIP code, vehicle, limits or deductible. An individual insurer quote is needed to account for these factors.

Your driver profile

Your insurer’s pricing can depend on personal and driving information.

Your vehicle and usage

Vehicle details and driving patterns are not priced into this state benchmark.

Your policy choices

Limits, deductibles, discounts and exclusions can change the offer.

Your location and insurer

A state average does not capture every ZIP code or insurer’s price.

Data source, calculation and limits

Source: NAIC 2024 Auto Insurance Database Average Premium Supplement, Tables 1C and 5. Data year: 2024. Release: October 1, 2026. Reference checked: October 27, 2026.

Liability uses the published liability average premium. The combined option uses the published sum of average premiums for liability, collision and comprehensive. This is different from the report’s average expenditure across all insured vehicles.

Formula: lower annual amount = published benchmark. Upper annual amount = benchmark × (1 + selected cushion ÷ 100). Monthly amounts = annual amounts ÷ 12. Prominent results round to whole dollars. With no cushion, one benchmark amount is shown.

Limitations: these historical averages do not predict today’s rate, guarantee a price range, or establish the coverage you need. Actual premiums can be lower or higher. California data is preliminary. NAIC does not endorse Milewiser or this calculator.
