Difference between an excess and a deductible (2024)

Thanks for your reply.

So

Excess Loss=Min(SI, Max(0, Loss-Excess))
Deductible Loss=Min(SI-Deductible, Max(0, Loss-Deductible))

So in your example for all losses up to the SI the two structures have the same recoveries for the insurer but for losses above the SI they have different payments. Which means for the same excess and deductible the coverage under the excess is better and so should have a higher price.

The deductible definitions seems quite unnatural to me.
