The formula
Cost = openings x size cost x rating multiplier + permit − annual insurance credit
Impact glass is priced per united inch. Large-missile Level D rating is required in high-velocity hurricane zones and costs more than the standard impact rating used elsewhere.
Worked example
Fifteen medium impact windows typically run $18,000 to $26,000 installed, often offsetting $600 to $1,400 a year in wind-mitigation insurance credits.
Frequently asked questions
How much do impact windows cost?
Impact windows generally run $900 to $2,600 per opening installed in 2026, roughly double a standard vinyl replacement window.
Do impact windows lower insurance?
In coastal states, documented opening protection commonly earns a wind-mitigation credit. Get the wind-mitigation inspection form filed after installation to claim it.
