Manual premium is determined by the amount of payroll and the class code rate assigned to that payroll, with the rate expressed per $100 of payroll. To get the actual premium, you multiply the payroll by the class code rate and then divide by 100. This converts the per-$100 rate into the total premium for all payroll covered. The other ideas described do not compute the premium itself: using the product without dividing by 100 would assume the rate is per full dollar, which it is not; and the governing class code or the highest exposure are classification factors, not the calculation formula for the premium.
