1. What is the Pet Insurance Price Calculator?

The Pet Insurance Price Calculator estimates the cost of pet insurance based on the base price and selected coverage level. It helps pet owners budget for their pet's healthcare needs.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses a simple formula:

Where:

• \( Base \) — The base price of the insurance plan
• \( Coverage\ Level \) — The multiplier for coverage level (typically 1-5)

Explanation: Higher coverage levels multiply the base price to provide more comprehensive coverage options.

3. Importance of Coverage Level

Details: The coverage level determines what percentage of veterinary costs will be reimbursed and what services are included in the policy.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the base price of the insurance plan and select a coverage level between 1 (basic) and 5 (premium). All values must be valid (base price > 0, coverage level between 1-5).
