What these figures are, and what they are not
Each figure is computed from the premiums insurers filed with North Dakota Insurance & Securities Department for one hypothetical driver the regulator defined. They are not quotes, not offers, and not what any individual pays. An insurer’s filed sample rate assumes the exact vehicle, mileage, record and coverage in the published profile, and nothing else.
Premiums are six-month payments, as published. Examples 1-8: bodily injury liability $100k/$300k, property damage liability $50,000, uninsured motorist $100k/$300k, underinsured motorist $100k/$300k, basic personal injury protection $30,000. Examples 9-12: bodily injury liability $25k/$50k, property damage liability $25,000, uninsured motorist $25k/$50k, underinsured motorist $25k/$50k, basic personal injury protection $30,000. Comprehensive and collision deductibles vary by example and are given in each example definition; the examples marked liability-only carry no physical-damage cover. We publish the count and the distribution — the smallest filed rate, the quartiles, the median and the largest — and never a rate attributed to an insurer.
What North Dakota requires by statute

Coverage gap calculator
A liability limit caps what the policy pays. Anything above it is the at-fault driver’s own exposure. This works out the difference against the limits in your state’s statute — nothing else.
Above the limit
$17,000
A $42,000 property damage claim against North Dakota’s statutory minimum property damage of $25,000 leaves $17,000 above the limit.
