What Maine requires

Maine's official insurance bureau page lists required automobile liability of $50,000 per person and $100,000 per accident for bodily injury and $25,000 for property damage, or a $125,000 combined single limit. The same page requires $2,000 of medical-payments coverage and uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage of 50/100, which must rise to match higher liability limits unless the insured rejects that match.

Required medical-payments coverage of $2,000 (Medical payments coverage of $2,000 is required.) UM/UIM of 50/100 is required and must equal the liability limits if those limits are higher, unless rejected. UM/UIM must generally equal liability limits unless rejected.

A common way to write split limits is 50/100/25. The first number is bodily injury per person, the second is bodily injury for everyone hurt in one crash, and the third is property damage. This calculator's injury example uses only the per-person number because it assumes one injured person.

Does Maine's minimum cover my own injuries or my own car?

Liability coverage pays people you injure or whose property you damage. It does not pay your own medical bills or repair your own car. Medical-payments coverage is also required at $2,000. Collision and comprehensive are separate optional coverages.

What if medical or repair bills are higher than the minimum?

The calculator subtracts Maine's per-person bodily-injury minimum from a one-person injury bill and subtracts the property-damage minimum from a property bill. Anything above those two limits is the simple gap shown.

Is uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage required in Maine?

UM/UIM of 50/100 is required and must equal the liability limits if those limits are higher, unless rejected. UM/UIM must generally equal liability limits unless rejected.

How does this calculator work?

You enter a hypothetical injury bill for one other person and a hypothetical property-damage bill. The script, running only in your browser, compares those bills with the verified per-person BI limit and PD limit and shows the covered amount and the leftover gap. It does not send your numbers to our servers.

Is this legal advice or an insurance quote?

No. This Maine page and calculator are general information based on the official source cited below, reviewed November 7, 2026. They are not a quote and not advice about your claim or what limits you should buy.
