Businesses paid $48,343,292 in workers' compensation premiums last year. This doesn't count the premiums paid to state workers comp pools. Payouts topped $61.9 billion in 2015.

Workers' compensation insurance is a requirement for most businesses in the U.S. Premiums are a percentage of payroll. Premium calculation is based upon risk.

The workers' compensation calculation is a flat percentage rate per $100 of the projected payroll. The claims experience of the business and other factors modifies this percentage. Insurance companies base these mods on previous injury claims.
