A factor used in retrospective premium calculations. It is a percentage of the standard premium and is used to provide the insurer with up-front money for administrative expenses. The Basic Premium Ratio, a percentage, is generally found in the retro manual of the plan being used. Retrospective plans, otherwise known as retros, are claim sensitive workers compensation rating programs specifically designed and used when an employer is of the size required to justify its use.

The second type of deformation, dynamic motions, are essentially sound waves radiated from the earthquake as it ruptures. While most of the plate-tectonic energy driving fault ruptures is taken up by static deformation, up to 10% may dissipate immediately in the form of seismic waves. The mechanical properties of the rocks that seismic waves travel through quickly organize the waves into two types. Compressional waves, also known as primary or P waves, travel fastest, at speeds between 1.5 and 8 kilometers per second in the Earth's crust. Shear waves, also known as secondary or S waves, travel more slowly, usually at 60% to 70% of the speed of P waves.
