Why Workers' Compensation Insurance Matters
Workers' comp insurance provides wage replacement and medical benefits to employees injured on the job. It also protects your business from legal liability when accidents occur. In California, carrying workers’ compensation is mandatory for all employers, even if you only have one employee.
Why Workers' Comp Rates Increased in 2024
In late 2024, California saw a noticeable increase in workers’ compensation insurance rates. A combination of rising medical costs, higher frequency of claims in certain industries, and adjustments to the state’s loss cost multiplier all contributed to higher premiums—especially for contractors, manufacturing firms, and businesses with a history of claims. If you’ve seen your premiums go up or are worried about the impact on your budget, you’re not alone—and you’re not stuck. With the right strategy and risk management, many businesses can regain control of their costs.
What Impacts Your Workers’ Compensation Premiums?
Your premium is based on several factors:
Employee classifications (job roles and risk levels) Total payroll Claims history Experience Modification Rate (X-Mod) Industry risk factors
Many business owners don’t realize how much they can influence these variables with the right insurance partner.
How Much Does Workers' Comp Insurance Cost in California?
Workers’ compensation rates in California vary based on your industry and claims history. In 2025, average rates range from $1.25 to over $6.00 per $100 of payroll, depending on the classification. That means a small business with $500,000 in payroll could see a difference of thousands of dollars annually—just based on risk factors and claims. With Alta Vista Insurance, you get a proactive partner who helps you control the variables that influence your premium—not just quote you a rate.
