What affects your homeowners insurance premium

Homeowners insurance protects your home and finances, but the amount you pay depends on the coverages and limits you choose, such as:

Dwelling coverage. The estimated cost to rebuild your home, based on its size, materials, and local construction prices.
Liability coverage. Helps cover costs if someone is injured on your property or if you accidentally damage someone else’s property.
Deductible. The amount you pay out of pocket before insurance kicks in. Choosing a higher deductible can lower your premium, but it also means more costs upfront if you file a claim.

How does dwelling coverage affect homeowners insurance in Louisiana?

Dwelling coverage helps pay for repairing or rebuilding your home. The amount you choose will directly affect your insurance premium — higher coverage generally means higher premiums. Still, it’s important to select enough coverage to avoid paying significant out-of-pocket costs if something happens to your home.

The table below shows the average annual and monthly premiums based on different dwelling coverage amounts.

Dwelling coverage	Average annual rate	Average monthly rate
$200,000	$4,377	$365
$300,000	$5,986	$499
$400,000	$7,575	$631
$600,000	$10,870	$906
$1,000,000	$16,302	$1,358

What is a hurricane deductible, and how does it impact home insurance rates in Louisiana?

A hurricane deductible is a separate deductible on your homeowners insurance policy that only applies to hurricane damage. While the standard policy deductible is a fixed amount, the hurricane insurance deductible is usually a percentage of the dwelling coverage, often up to 10%.

Compare the rates below with and without a 2% hurricane deductible. If your policy excludes a hurricane deductible and you live in a hurricane-prone area, hurricane damage won’t be covered at all. Always review your policy details carefully to ensure you have the protection you need.

Natural disasters and homeowners insurance rates

Homeowners insurance costs aren’t just based on your coverage limits—they’re also shaped by the natural disaster risks where you live. Depending on the state, common risks can include:

Flooding
Wildfires
Hurricanes
Tornadoes

These types of disasters usually aren’t covered under a standard homeowners policy. Instead, you’ll need separate policies or add-on endorsements. While adding this coverage can raise your premium, it also ensures you’re protected if disaster strikes.
