1. What is Claim Settlement Ratio?

Claim Settlement Ratio (CSR) is a key performance indicator in the insurance industry that measures the percentage of claims settled out of total claims received. It reflects the efficiency and reliability of an insurance company in honoring its commitments to policyholders.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the CSR formula:

\[ CSR = \frac{\text{Claims Settled}}{\text{Total Claims Received}} \times 100 \]

Where:

\( \text{Claims Settled} \) — Number of insurance claims successfully processed and paid
\( \text{Total Claims Received} \) — Total number of claims submitted by policyholders
\( CSR \) — Claim Settlement Ratio expressed as a percentage

Explanation: The formula calculates the proportion of settled claims relative to total claims, multiplied by 100 to convert to percentage format.

3. Importance of CSR Calculation

Details: CSR is crucial for assessing insurance company performance, building customer trust, regulatory compliance, and competitive benchmarking in the insurance market.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the number of claims settled and total claims received. Both values must be non-negative integers, and settled claims cannot exceed total claims received.
