To determine the cost of your insurance (approx),

For policies (sales price) of $100,001 to $1,000,000,
(1) Subtract $100,000 from the policy (sales Price) amount.
(2) Multiply result by $.00534
(3) Add $843 to the result

Thus for a $500,000 sales price, Subtract $100,000
The result of $400,000 is multiplied by $.00534 = $2,136
$2,136 plus $843 = $2,979 is the cost of the title insurance.

For policies (sales price) of $1,000,001 to $5,000,000,
(1) Subtract $1,000,000 from the policy (sales price) amount.
(2) Multiply result by $.00439
(3) Add 5,649 to the result.


Thus for a $3,000,000 sales price, subtract $1,000,000
The result of $2,000,000 is multiplied by $.00439 = $8,780
$8,780 plus $5,649 = $14,429 is the cost of the title insurance.
