Your experience modification is calculated by comparing the actual losses to the expected losses.
Actual losses are the medical and indemnity claim costs resulting from a work-related injury, that an insurance company has paid or expects to pay in the future.
Expected losses represent a business's projected losses for the industry in which it operates.
