What Massachusetts requires

Massachusetts publishes its compulsory coverages on the official mass.gov auto-insurance basics page. As of July 1, 2025, those compulsory pieces are bodily-injury liability of $25,000/$50,000 (described there as in-state coverage), personal injury protection of $8,000, uninsured-motorist coverage of $25,000/$50,000, and property-damage liability of $30,000. Optional Additional Bodily Injury is what extends bodily-injury protection out of state and to passengers.

Required PIP / no-fault of $8,000 (Compulsory PIP of $8,000.) Compulsory uninsured-motorist bodily-injury coverage of 25/50.

A common way to write split limits is 25/50/30. 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.

FAQ

What is the minimum car insurance in Massachusetts?

The primary source cited on this page states that Massachusetts requires $25,000 bodily injury per person / $50,000 bodily injury per accident / $30,000 property damage. In addition, required PIP / no-fault of $8,000 (Compulsory PIP of $8,000.); Compulsory uninsured-motorist bodily-injury coverage of 25/50.. Always read the official source because statutes and department guidance can change.

Does Massachusetts'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. This state does require first-party PIP or no-fault benefits for your own injuries ($8,000 in the figure we verified). Collision and comprehensive are separate optional coverages.

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

The calculator subtracts Massachusetts'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 Massachusetts?

Compulsory uninsured-motorist bodily-injury coverage of 25/50.

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 Massachusetts 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.
