Quite simply, an insurance rate considers all these factors and the insurance company assigns you a rating factor by which they multiply the base rate for each type of coverage. For example, a given insurance group may be priced at $200 per year for someone in a 35-40 year old age group, but if you are 16-21 your rating factor may be 1.5, you will be charged $300 ($200 X 1.5).

base premium * rating factor = annual premium
