What each number means

Flat Dollar Deductible

A fixed dollar amount the policyholder pays before insurance kicks in. Common amounts are $500, $1,000, $2,500, and $5,000. The amount is the same regardless of the claim size or home value.

Percentage Deductible

A percentage of the dwelling coverage amount. Common in wind, hail, and hurricane zones. A 2% deductible on a $350,000 dwelling coverage policy means a $7,000 deductible. Percentage deductibles can be significantly higher than flat deductibles, especially on expensive homes.

Net Insurance Payment

The amount the carrier pays after subtracting the deductible. On a replacement cost policy, this initial payment is based on ACV (with recoverable depreciation released after repairs). On an ACV policy, this is the total payment. Learn more about the claims process
