Important quantitative measure for an insurance company indicating the percentage of each premium dollar that is going to pay for losses. Based on losses incurred, appropriate reserves are established. Changes in incurred losses over several policy periods indicate the trend in the loss picture and the accuracy of the basic premium charged to reflect expected losses.
