Average Case Size Calculator for Insurance Agents
Use the ApexLedger Average Case Size Calculator to see how average premium per policy changes your policies needed, weekly target, proposal volume, first meetings, appointments, prospects, and daily activity pressure.
Case-size route
Enter your target and compare the route.
The calculator estimates how your current average case size compares with a target case size, then shows how the policy count and activity pressure change.

Auto-filled from calendar days to Dec 31 divided by 7. You can edit this.
Default is 7 because agents and leaders may work every day to hit the target.

Result summary
Your case-size route looks realistic if activity stays consistent.
What it shows
How much does average case size change the route?
It starts with your annual production target. Then it subtracts your current production. That gives your remaining gap. Next, it compares two routes, your current average case size and your target average case size.
Current case-size route
This route shows how many policies, proposals, first meetings, appointments, and prospects you may need if your current average case size stays the same.
Target case-size route
This route shows how the activity load may change if your average premium per policy improves.
Policy count saved
If your case size improves, your policy count may fall. If policy count falls, proposal pressure and daily activity pressure may become more manageable.
Why it matters
Average case size can change the whole production route.
Two agents can have the same annual goal. One agent may need 40 policies. Another may need 24 policies. The difference may not be motivation. It may be average case size.
For example, a $174,000 production target with a $5,000 average case size requires about 35 policies. The same target with a $10,000 average case size requires about 18 policies.
It changes policies.
A lower case size means more policies are needed to reach the same target.
It changes proposals.
More policies usually require more proposals, stronger follow-up, and clearer case movement.
It changes daily pressure.
More proposals require more first meetings, appointments, prospects, and daily activity.
Activity volume
More activity can help, but case size can reduce pressure.
Understand the mix
Which leads fit the goal? Which appointments are worth protecting? Which proposals need better preparation?
Protect better-fit cases
The goal is to understand the route and improve the quality of movement.
Connect follow-up
Which follow-ups can still protect the week? Which cases can move to stronger premium?
MDRT, COT, and TOT
Case size affects every production goal.
MDRT, COT, TOT, and custom goals all depend on the same basic question: how much premium does each placed policy usually create?
| Goal type | What average case size changes |
|---|---|
| MDRT | How many policies and proposals are needed to reach the annual path. |
| Court of the Table | Whether the higher goal requires more policy volume or stronger case size. |
| Top of the Table | Whether the route is realistic with the current case mix and weekly pace. |
| Custom goal | How your own target changes based on your real average premium. |
ApexLedger connection
The calculator shows the route. ApexLedger helps you work it.
Inside ApexLedger, agents can track prospects, appointments, first meetings, proposals, policies, FYP, notes, goal pace, and average case size.
Tracking
See WTD, MTD, and YTD movement against your production route.
Leads
See which opportunities need the next step and which follow-ups can still protect the week.
Daily Coach
Turn goal pace, activity, proposals, policies, and follow-up focus into a practical move.
Built to match ApexLedger
This public tool follows the same planning logic.
ApexLedger already uses average case size inside goal settings. It uses MDRT, Court of the Table, Top of the Table, and custom goal paths. It connects annual premium targets to policies, proposals, first meetings, appointments, and prospects.
The public calculator gives the planning view. The logged-in dashboard connects the same logic to real activity, real leads, real proposals, real policies, and Daily Coach priorities.
For agency leaders
Coach production with clearer case-size math.
Ask better questions.
What is the agent’s current average case size? How many policies does the target require? How many proposals does that policy count require?
Find the real issue.
Is the agent behind because of activity, conversion, or case size?
Coach the next move.
The agent may need more prospecting, better appointment quality, stronger proposal preparation, better follow-up on higher-fit leads, or a review of case mix.

Your real outcome depends on market, product mix, client fit, compliance rules, lead quality, follow-up, conversion rates, average case size, and activity consistency.
FAQ
Average Case Size Calculator FAQ
What is an average case size calculator?
An average case size calculator is a planning tool that helps insurance agents estimate how average premium per policy changes policies needed, proposals, first meetings, appointments, prospects, and production pace.
How does the calculator work?
The calculator subtracts current production from the annual target, then compares the policy count and activity route at your current average case size and your target average case size.
Why does average case size matter for insurance agents?
Average case size matters because it affects how many policies must be placed to reach a production goal. A lower case size usually requires more policies, proposals, meetings, appointments, and prospects.
What average case size should I use?
Use your real average premium per placed policy if you know it. If you do not know it yet, start with a conservative estimate and update it as your real production data improves.
Can improving average case size reduce daily activity pressure?
Yes. If your average case size improves, the number of policies needed may fall. That can reduce the number of proposals, first meetings, appointments, and prospects required to support the same goal.
Can this calculator replace a CRM or sales tracker?
No. The calculator gives a planning estimate. A CRM or sales tracker helps manage real leads, follow-ups, proposals, policies, premium, and activity over time.
How does ApexLedger help after I calculate average case size?
ApexLedger helps connect case-size planning to Tracking, Leads, activity logs, goal pace, follow-up focus, and Daily Coach priorities so you know what to move next.
See the Route. Then Move It.
Average case size changes more than the policy count. It changes the work behind the goal. Use the calculator to see how case size affects the route. Then use ApexLedger to track activity, leads, proposals, policies, premium, follow-ups, and Daily Coach priorities.
