The 80% insurance rule (or 80/20 coinsurance) in homeowners insurance requires you to insure your home for at least 80% of its total replacement cost to receive full coverage for partial losses, preventing large out-of-pocket expenses from underinsurance penalties. If your coverage is below this threshold, the insurer applies a penalty, paying only a percentage of your claim based on how close you are to the 80% mark, not the full repair cost. This rule ensures you can rebuild your home after a major event like a fire or storm by covering current material and labor costs, excluding the land value.
