What is a loss ratio?

Loss ratio is used in the insurance industry, representing the ratio of losses to premiums earned.

Losses in loss ratios include paid insurance claims and adjustment expenses. The loss ratio formula is insurance claims paid plus loss adjustment expenses divided by total earned premiums. 

For example, if a company pays $80 in claims for every $160 in collected premiums, the loss ratio would be 50%. A high loss ratio may indicate strain on profitability within this line of business, especially for a property or casualty insurance company. Loss ratios help assess the health and profitability of an insurance company.
