How to Estimate the Cost of Your Homeowners Insurance Policy in Nebraska
Homeowners insurance costs in Nebraska can vary depending on a buyer’s needs and profile. Some primary factors that affect insurance rates are your location, dwelling coverage and credit score.
Input your specific information in MoneyGeek’s Nebraska homeowners insurance calculator to get a quick estimate of your policy costs.
Nebraska
The cost of homeowners insurance in Nebraska can be affected by your location. Insurance companies may view you as risky to insure if you live in a neighborhood with a high risk of crime, natural disasters or fires. As a result, they may charge a more expensive premium.
Dwelling Coverage
Dwelling coverage covers the cost of rebuilding/repairing your home in case of a loss. The average dwelling coverage in Nebraska is $250,000.
However, your preferred coverage amount may be higher or lower depending on your home’s age, size and features.
You can ask your insurance provider or a professional home appraiser for assistance in calculating how much dwelling coverage you need.
Deductible
Your deductible is the amount you will pay out of pocket in a claim.
For example, if you have an insurance claim worth $10,000 and your homeowners insurance deductible is $500, you’re responsible for covering that amount. Your insurance provider will pay the remaining $9,500.
Opting for a higher deductible is an effective way to lower your homeowners insurance cost.
Liability
Liability insurance covers the damages to other people and their property that occur in your home due to your negligence. That includes legal, replacement, medical, pain and suffering and death benefits costs.
Getting enough liability insurance to cover your assets' value is advisable.
Personal Property
Personal property coverage protects your belongings from damage or theft. Among the items it covers are your clothing, furniture and electronics.
Use MoneyGeek's personal property calculator below to determine your need for personal property coverage.
Credit Score
Your credit score matters when calculating your home insurance rates. Homeowners with poor credit scores usually have a more expensive premium because insurance companies may think they will file more claims or not pay their premium. To compensate for this, they charge a higher insurance rate.
Personal Property Coverage Calculator
When figuring out how much renters insurance you need, experts recommend the standard $100,000 in liability insurance and enough personal property protection to cover your possessions. Use MoneyGeek's calculator to estimate the value of your possessions so you know how much personal property coverage to buy.

MONEYGEEK EXPERT TIP
Considering how much dwelling coverage you need is important in the homeowners insurance buying process. Getting enough coverage to pay for rebuilding your home in the event of a total loss is advisable.
Your home replacement value is affected by various factors, like your home’s age, height, square footage and construction materials. You can calculate your rebuilding costs with the help of your insurance provider or a professional home appraiser.
It's worth noting that extended replacement coverage or inflation guard coverage can help if your total rebuilding cost isn't accurate.
