About the Pet Insurance Cost Calculator
This free pet insurance cost calculator helps people in the United States get a quick, private estimate before they talk to a lender, insurer, employer or advisor. There is no signup, nothing is stored on our servers and every result updates instantly in your browser.
How this calculator works
Cost starts from an average annual base for dogs or cats, rises with the pet's age and scales with plan level (accident-only, standard or comprehensive).
Worked example
A 3-year-old dog on a standard plan averages about $650 per year. Change any input above to see how the result moves, which is the fastest way to understand which factor matters most for you.
Tips to get a better result
Enrol while your pet is young and healthy, since pre-existing conditions are excluded. Compare reimbursement percentage, annual limit and deductible.
Key factors that change your result
Premiums rise with age, breed and plan level, and pre-existing conditions are excluded. Check the annual limit, reimbursement percentage, deductible and waiting periods. Enrolling a young, healthy pet locks in lower rates.
