How this calculator works

Rebuild = floor area × local rebuild rate; contents = a share of the rebuild figure

rebuild rate
local construction cost per square foot, not market value

Important considerations

  • Insure the rebuild cost, not the market value — land is not at risk.
  • High-value items usually need scheduling separately.

Frequently asked questions

Why is rebuild cost different from market value?

Market value includes land and location; a policy only needs to rebuild the structure.
