• Gross Net Premium Income (GNWPI) is the dollar amount of the insurer’s premiums, which is used to determine the amount due to the reinsurer.

  • GNWPI is the basis on which the reinsurance premium rate is applied, taking into account cancellations, refunds and premiums paid for reinsurance coverage.
  • Reinsurers are generally entitled to a portion of the insurer’s premiums for taking on some of the insurer’s risks.
  • The rate used to determine the amount due to the reinsurer may be based on recorded premiums, where GNWPI is used, or on premiums earned, where gross premium income earned (GNEPI) is used.
  • If the amount of risk assumed by the reinsurer increases over time, recorded premium income will be higher than earned premium income.
