retrospective rating

A rating plan that adjusts the premium, subject to a certain minimum and maximum, to reflect the current loss experience of the insured. Retrospective rating combines actual losses with graded expenses to produce a premium which more accurately reflects the current experience of the insured. Adjustments are performed periodically, after the policy has expired.
