Maximum probable loss

Insurance Policyholder Taxation Manual, published by HM Revenue & Customs on 19 March 2016, defines maximum probable loss (MPL) or probable maximum loss (PML) as: ‘the largest loss thought probable under an insurance policy; normally applied to material damage risks where the total sum insured is not considered to be at risk from one loss event.’
