aggregate
An aggregate is a limit in an insurance policy stipulating the most it will pay for all covered losses sustained during a specified period of time, usually a year.
Additional Information
Aggregate limits are commonly included in liability policies. While not often used in property insurance, aggregates are sometimes included with respect to certain catastrophic exposures—for example, earthquake and flood. Aggregate limits are also the dollar amount of reinsurance coverage during one specified period, usually 12 months, for all reinsurance losses sustained under a treaty during such period.
