Recall that LR normally stands for Loss Ratio, and that this is the same things as CR or Claims Ratio.

  • Let ECR stand for Expected Claims Ratio

ECR is a projection, or an expectation of what the loss ratio or claims ratio is going to be in a future period. Let's start with the simplest possible example you could imagine of the ECR method. Suppose you're given:

ECR = 75%
EP = 1,000

Then by the ECR method:

ultimate claims   =   ECR x EP   =   75% x 1,000   =   750

To say this in words, if you think the ultimate claims ratio for a particular year is going to be 75%, and you also know the EP is 1,000, then the ultimate claims in dollars is just the product of ECR and EP.
