Alaska workers' comp cost calculator Modeled

Pick your industry, monthly payroll and claims history to see an illustrative monthly workers’ compensation cost guide for a business in Alaska. This page uses a modeled state-adjusted benchmark because 10 Second Quotes does not currently use a state-specific class-rate table for Alaska.

What the Alaska benchmark means

In the Oregon Department of Consumer and Business Services 2024 interstate study, Alaska had a workers’ compensation premium index of $1.16 per $100 of payroll, equal to 106% of the study median. Oregon DCBS placed Alaska at 106% of the study median, which falls in the study’s 90%–110% range. In that standardized comparison, Alaska was near the study median; small differences in the index can still move a state several ranking positions.

The premium index is a standardized interstate comparison built from a consistent mix of major risk classifications. It does not mean every Alaska employer pays $1.16 per $100 of payroll, and it is not an official Alaska class rate or insurance quote.

How 10 Second Quotes models Alaska

For Alaska, 10 Second Quotes starts with a national industry benchmark derived from public workers’ compensation datasets and scales it to Alaska’s statewide index of $1.16. That preserves differences among industries while making the estimate sensitive to the state’s overall cost environment.

The calculator then applies the same simplified claims-history adjustment used elsewhere on 10 Second Quotes. Exact premiums can differ substantially because of the employer’s actual classification, payroll, experience modification, insurer, underwriting, location, minimum premiums, fees and assessments.

Estimate by industry

Is this an official Alaska workers' comp rate?

No. This is an educational cost guide. It is designed to give a fast directional estimate until a state-specific public dataset suitable for this calculator is integrated. A carrier, agent, state fund or rating organization may classify and price the same business differently.
