Akur8’s explanation

In most cases, the insurance premium is based primarily on how risky the policyholder is, that is to say how costly they will be for the insurer. For example, an experienced driver will be considered less risky than a driver who got their licence six months ago: their premium will probably be lower.

Who calculates these risks?

Actuaries are in charge of evaluating, modeling and managing risk for insurance companies, pension funds and banks. They have a strong mathematics, statistics and actuarial science background. One of their responsibilities is to set the premiums for a given insurance contract by using statistical methods to assess the associated risk. ‍
