Top 5 reasons we think this is right
iThis is a best guess, not an official classification decision. The exact workers’ compensation class can depend on the work actually performed, employee duties and carrier rules. A licensed agent or insurer should confirm the final classification.
New York’s workers’ compensation classification and loss-cost system is administered through the New York Compensation Insurance Rating Board (NYCIRB). The 10 Second Quotes New York calculator uses NYCIRB 2026 loss costs with disclosed illustrative conversion assumptions; the classification helper below is a separate best-fit tool for choosing a broad industry.
For the best result, describe the operation rather than only entering a job title. “Manager,” “owner” or “technician” can apply to very different businesses. A description such as “commercial office cleaning,” “roof replacement,” “bookkeeping,” or “auto repair” gives the helper useful context.

Why New York classification can differ from another state
A class code that looks familiar from another state should not be assumed to carry over unchanged. New York has its own rules, descriptions and rating values. That is why this page defaults the helper to New York and why the final classification should be confirmed in the New York system rather than copied from a policy written elsewhere.
Who maintains New York workers’ comp classifications?
NYCIRB administers New York workers’ compensation classifications and loss costs. Insurers and licensed professionals use the applicable rules when assigning the final policy classification.
Can I use an NCCI class-code lookup for a New York policy?
Do not rely on a generic national lookup as the final answer for New York. Use New York-specific classification guidance and confirm the policy code with the insurer or licensed agent.
Why is office work often shown separately?
Desk-based clerical work can have a very different risk profile from field, shop or construction work. Whether separate clerical treatment applies depends on the actual operations and classification rules.
