Premium capacity
The total amount of premiums for all exposures that the insurer can safely write in a given period. This figure is also restricted based on state regulations as well as the generally accepted accounting principles applicable to property-casualty (P&C) insurers. The insurer’s written premium to policyholder’s surplus is often calculated to ascertain this capacity. Reinsurance is frequently purchased to assist insurers in this area.
Premium reserve
Insurers earn the premium paid for an insurance policy over the life of the policy. In other words, one-twelfth of an annual premium is earned each month. An unearned premium reserve is maintained on an insurer’s balance sheet to reflect the unearned premiums that would be returned to policyholders if all policies were canceled on the date the balance sheet was prepared.
