The National Flood Insurance Program’s (NFIP) Pricing Methodology
This page describes the resources and guidance around the implementation of NFIP’s pricing methodology.
About the pricing methodology
NFIP’s pricing approach, Risk Rating 2.0, was launched in April 2021. This approach uses industry best practices and advanced tools to help FEMA set individualized and easy-to-understand rates that better match a property's flood risk.
Underwriting policies
The Flood Insurance Manual explains the NFIP underwriting policies and steps for applying the NFIP's approach effectively and consistently.
The Risk Rating 2.0: Industry Transition Memo outlines how a policy rated before the new pricing approach is now calculated.
