How these prices are worked out
Each package is priced from the insurer’s own published rates: the tables swept off Etiqa’s, HL Assurance’s and MSIG’s online quotes, Income’s sampled online prices, and the premium tables on Sompo’s, EQ’s, Tokio Marine’s and Great American’s application forms, with contents at the packages’ minimum of S$75,000 and no building. The WICA share is the same package priced without WICA, taken off. GST is included. Work injury is at each insurer's office-staff rate; staff who do manual work are rated higher. Allianz quotes its package live, so it is not on these pages. Shenton Brokers is an insurance broker in Singapore. Every employer is in a CSV file, updated daily.
