Insurance term
Deductible
The amount you pay out of pocket on a covered claim before your insurance starts to pay. A higher deductible usually lowers your premium, and a lower deductible raises it.
Example
If you have a $500 deductible and $2,000 in covered damage, you pay $500 and the insurer pays the remaining $1,500.
