How this estimate works

The estimate multiplies the dwelling coverage limit by the selected hurricane deductible percentage, then compares that number with estimated damage and cash available.

Assumptions used

Percentage hurricane deductibles are usually based on dwelling coverage, not the claim amount.
Policy language controls the actual deductible, trigger, and payout.
The cash gap helps show how much money may need to be available before insurance helps.

Example scenario

Example: a 2% deductible on $450,000 of dwelling coverage is about $9,000, even if the covered storm damage is much less than the full coverage limit.

When not to rely on it

Do not use this instead of your declarations page. Check the policy, endorsements, hurricane/wind language, and carrier claim rules.
