The solvency ratio of an insurance company is the size of its capital relative to all risks it has taken. The solvency ratio is most often defined as: net assets ÷ net premium written
The solvency ratio is a measure of the risk an insurer faces of claims that it cannot absorb. The amount of premium written is a better measure than the total amount insured because the level of premiums is linked to the likelihood of claims.
Different countries use different methodologies to calculate the solvency ratio, and have different requirements. For example, in India insurers are required to maintain a minimum ratio of 1.5.
