Total Insured Value

A.M. Best defines Total Insured Value (TIV) as your share of property coverages before the application of reinsurance, but net of limits, deductibles, and co-insurance. For example, consider the following sample location:

Peril Rep Val Building Rep Val Contents Rep Val Time Limit Building Limit Contents Limit Time
HU $1,000,000 $1,000,000 $1,000,000 $500,000 $500,000 $500,000
EQ       $250,000 $250,000 $250,000

In this example, the deductible structure is as follows:

          HU: Coverage percent with Building = 2%, Contents = 3% and Time = 4%

          EQ: Site amount of $50,000

For the hurricane peril, the TIV is $1,455,000, which is equal to the combined limits less the coverage-specific deductibles. For the earthquake peril, the TIV is $700,000, which is equal to the combined limits less the site amount deductible. In both calculations, replacement values are irrelevant because they are not insured exposures.
