Typically, it's a function of payroll and the type of work. If the work is clerical then assume $0.75 per $100 of payroll. If the work is construction (or other risky work) assume $5.00 per $100 of payroll. If it's in-between assume $2.00 per $100 of payroll.
So, if you have $1,000,000 of annual payroll in your plan (e.g., 30 employees, say) and the risks are in-between, then:
$1,000,000 / $100 x 2.00 = $20,000 / year in workers compensation premium.
