Pennsylvania uses a classification system that can look different from the codes used in many other states. Describe your business activity and we’ll suggest the closest industry supported by our calculator, together with the Pennsylvania class code or codes mapped to that category.

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.
How Pennsylvania workers’ comp classification works
Pennsylvania workers’ compensation classifications and rating values are published through the Pennsylvania Compensation Rating Bureau (PCRB). The 10 Second Quotes Pennsylvania calculator uses PCRB loss costs with disclosed illustrative conversion assumptions. The helper below focuses on identifying the broad business category first.
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 Pennsylvania codes may look unfamiliar
Pennsylvania code numbers can differ substantially from the familiar NCCI-style codes used in many states. For example, our Pennsylvania office/clerical category maps to 0953 rather than 8810. That makes state selection especially important when you are researching a Pennsylvania policy.
Why is my Pennsylvania class code different from the code on an out-of-state policy?
Pennsylvania uses its own PCRB classification system. Do not assume a code from another jurisdiction applies to Pennsylvania work.
Can the same Pennsylvania company use multiple classifications?
Potentially. Different operations or employee duties may require separate treatment when the rules allow it. The exact policy classification requires more detail than this broad consumer helper collects.
What does this tool do if my business is not one of the supported industries?
It will ask for more detail when it cannot find a supported match. The calculator currently focuses on a defined set of common small-business industries rather than claiming to cover every Pennsylvania classification.
