Organization [Abstract] | |
Organization | 1. Organization NI Holdings is a North Dakota business corporation that is the stock holding company of Nodak Insurance and became such in connection with the conversion of Nodak Mutual from a mutual to stock form of organization and the creation of a mutual holding company. The conversion was consummated on March 13, 2017. Immediately following the conversion, all of the outstanding shares of common stock of Nodak Insurance were issued to Nodak Mutual Group, which then contributed the shares to NI Holdings in exchange for 55% of the outstanding shares of common stock of NI Holdings. Nodak Insurance then became a wholly-owned stock subsidiary of NI Holdings. Prior to completion of the conversion, NI Holdings conducted no business and had no assets or liabilities. As a result of the conversion, NI Holdings became the holding company for Nodak Insurance and its existing subsidiaries. These consolidated financial statements include the financial position and results of operations of NI Holdings and the following other entities: Nodak Insurance Company Nodak Insurance is the largest domestic property and casualty insurance company in North Dakota, offering private passenger auto, homeowners, farmowners, commercial multi-peril, crop hail, and Federal multi-peril crop insurance coverages through its captive agents in the state.

Battle Creek became affiliated with Nodak Insurance in 2011, and Nodak Insurance provides underwriting, claims management, policy administration, and other administrative services to Battle Creek. Because we have concluded that we control Battle Creek, we consolidate the financial statements of Battle Creek, and Battle Creek’s policyholders’ interest in Battle Creek is reflected as a non-controlling interest in shareholders’ equity in our Consolidated Balance Sheets for NI Holdings (“Consolidated Balance Sheets”) and its net income or loss is excluded from net income or loss attributed to NI Holdings in our Consolidated Statements of Operations for NI Holdings (“Consolidated Statements of Operations”). Direct Auto Insurance Company Direct Auto is a property and casualty insurance company licensed in Illinois. Direct Auto began writing non-standard automobile coverage in 2007, and was acquired by NI Holdings on August 31, 2018, via a stock purchase agreement.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements [Abstract] | |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements | 2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements Prior to December 31, 2022, we were classified as an EGC and elected to use the extended transition period for complying with certain new or revised financial accounting standards from the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) pursuant to Section 13(a) of the Exchange Act. However, beginning on December 31, 2022, we are no longer an EGC and are now unable to delay adoption of these new or revised accounting standards or take advantage of reduced corporate governance disclosures. Adopted Leases Effective for the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company adopted the updated guidance for leases and elected to utilize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings for the year of adoption, if necessary. Accordingly, the Company’s reporting for the comparative periods prior to adoption continue to be presented in the consolidated financial statements in accordance with previous lease accounting guidance. The Company also elected to apply all practical expedients applicable to the Company in the updated guidance for transition for leases in effect at adoption, including using hindsight to determine the lease term of existing leases, the option to not reassess whether an existing contract is a lease or contains a lease, and whether the lease is an operating or finance lease. The adoption of the updated guidance resulted in the Company recognizing a right-of-use asset of $1,637 as part of other assets, a lease liability of $1,837 as part of accrued expenses and other liabilities, and an elimination of the $200 deferred rent liability in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The cumulative effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings was zero. The adoption of the updated guidance did not affect the Company’s results of operations or cash flows. Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments In December 2022, the Company adopted amended guidance from the FASB that applies a new credit loss model (current expected credit losses or “CECL”) for determining credit-related impairments for financial instruments measured at amortized cost and requires an entity to estimate the credit losses expected over the life of an exposure or pool of exposures. The expected credit losses, and subsequent adjustments to such losses, are recorded through an allowance account that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of the financial asset, with the net carrying value of the financial asset presented on the Consolidated Balance Sheet at the amount expected to be collected. The updated guidance also amends the previous other-than-temporary impairment model for available-for-sale fixed income securities by requiring the recognition of impairments relating to credit losses through an allowance account and limits the amount of credit loss to the difference between a security’s amortized cost basis and its fair value. In addition, the length of time a security has been in an unrealized loss position will no longer impact the determination of whether a credit loss exists. The Company adopted the updated guidance for the year ended December 31, 2022. The adoption of this guidance resulted in an allowance for expected credit losses of $425 for premiums and agents' balances receivable. Based on the results of the receivable analyses and management’s review of our available-for-sale fixed income securities, it was determined that no allowance was required for reinsurance recoverables or available-for-sale fixed income securities at this time. Income Taxes – Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes In December 2022, the Company adopted amended guidance from the FASB relating to accounting for income taxes. The modifications primarily remove or amend several exceptions contained in existing guidance to simplify income tax matters. The adoption of this guidance did not materially impact the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. Not Yet Adopted Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures In November 2023, the FASB issued guidance related to improving disclosures for reportable segments primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses that are provided to the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”). This guidance also requires disclosure of the title and position of the CODM and an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measures of segment profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures In December 2023, the FASB issued guidance related to improving income tax disclosures. This guidance requires that an entity, on an annual basis, disclose additional income tax information, primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. The guidance is intended to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. The amendments in this update are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. We are currently evaluating the impact of the new standard on our consolidated financial statements, which is expected to result in enhanced disclosures. |

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | 3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Consolidation Our consolidated financial statements, which we have prepared in accordance with GAAP, include our accounts and those of our wholly-owned subsidiaries, as well as Battle Creek, an entity we control via a surplus note agreement. We have eliminated all significant intercompany accounts and transactions in consolidation. Use of Estimates In preparing our consolidated financial statements, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the balance sheet, and revenues and expenses for the periods then ended. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. We make estimates and assumptions that can have a significant effect on amounts and disclosures we report in our consolidated financial statements. The most significant estimates relate to our reserves for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses, earned premiums for crop insurance, valuation of investments, determination of credit impairments, valuation allowances for deferred income tax assets, deferred policy acquisition costs, as well as valuation and impairments of goodwill and other intangible assets. While we believe our estimates are appropriate, the ultimate amounts may differ from the estimates provided. We regularly review our methods for making these estimates as well as the continued appropriateness of the estimated amounts, and we reflect any adjustment we consider necessary in our current results of operations. Variable-Interest Entities Any company deemed to be a variable interest entity (“VIE”) is required to be consolidated by the primary beneficiary of the VIE. We assess our investments in other entities at inception to determine if any meet the qualifications of a VIE. We consider an investment in another company to be a VIE if: (a) the total equity investment at risk is not sufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support, (b) the characteristics of a controlling financial interest are missing (either the ability to make decisions through voting or other rights, the obligation to absorb expected losses of the entity, or the right to receive the expected residual returns of the entity), or (c) the voting rights of the equity holders are not proportional to their obligations to absorb the expected losses of the entity and/or the rights to receive the expected residual returns of the entity, and substantially all of the entity’s activities either involve or are conducted on behalf of an investor that has disproportionately few voting rights. Upon the occurrence of certain events, we would reassess our initial determination of whether the investment is a VIE. We evaluate whether we are the primary beneficiary of each VIE and we consolidate the VIE if we have both (1) the power to direct the economically significant activities of the entity and (2) the obligation to absorb losses of, or the right to receive benefits from, the entity. We consider the contractual agreements that define the ownership structure, distribution of profits and losses, risks, responsibilities, indebtedness, voting rights, and board representation of the respective parties in determining whether we qualify as the primary beneficiary. Our assessment of whether we are the primary beneficiary of a VIE is performed at least annually. We control Battle Creek via a surplus note which provides us with the ability to appoint two-thirds of the Board of Directors of Battle Creek. Under the quota share reinsurance agreement that existed through December 31, 2019, Battle Creek’s operating results included only net investment income, bad debt expense, and income taxes. Effective January 1, 2020, the Company implemented an intercompany pooling reinsurance agreement, and Battle Creek’s operating results now include its participation in the underwriting results of the pool (2% during 2023, 2022, and 2021). For more information, see Part II, Item 8, Note 11 “Royalties, Dividends, and Affiliations”. Because we have concluded that we control Battle Creek, we consolidate the financial statements of Battle Creek, and Battle Creek’s policyholders’ interest in Battle Creek is reflected as a non-controlling interest in shareholders’ equity in our Consolidated Balance Sheet and its net income or loss is excluded from net income or loss attributed to NI Holdings in our Consolidated Statement of Operations. Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include cash, money market accounts, and certain investments in highly liquid debt instruments. Cost approximates fair value for these short-term investments. Investments The Company’s fixed income securities and equity securities are classified as available-for-sale and carried at estimated fair value as determined by management based upon quoted market prices or a recognized independent pricing service at the reporting date for those or similar investments. Changes in unrealized investment gains or losses on the fixed income securities, net of applicable income taxes, are reflected directly in shareholders’ equity as a component of other comprehensive income (loss) and, accordingly, have no effect on net income (loss). Changes in unrealized investment gains or losses on equity securities are reported in net income (loss). Investment income from fixed income securities is recognized when earned, and realized investment gains (losses) are recognized when investments are sold, the fair value of equity securities change, or credit impairments are recognized. Fair values are based on quoted market prices or independent pricing services, if available. If a quoted market price is not available, fair value is estimated using quoted market prices for similar securities. Amortization of premium and accretion of discount are computed using the effective interest method. Net investment income includes interest and dividend income together with amortization of purchase premiums and discounts, and is net of investment management and custody fees. Realized gains and losses on investments are determined using the specific identification method and are included in net investment gains (losses), along with the change in unrealized gains and losses on equity securities. Other invested assets that do not have observable inputs and little or no market activity are carried on a cost basis, which approximates fair value. The carrying value of these other invested assets was $2,006 at December 31, 2023 and $2,005 at December 31, 2022. Beginning on December 31, 2022, credit losses are recognized through an allowance account. See Part II, Item 8, Note 2 “Recent Accounting Pronouncements” for additional information. We, along with our investment advisors, frequently review our investment portfolio for declines in fair value that could be indicative of credit losses. The available-for-sale impairment model requires an estimate of expected credit losses only when the fair value of the available-for-sale fixed income security is below its amortized cost basis. The Company considers a number of factors when determining if an allowance for credit losses is necessary including payment and default history, credit spreads, credit ratings and rating actions, and probability of default. The Company determines the credit loss component of fixed income securities by utilizing discounted cash flow modeling to determine the present value of the security and comparing the present value with the amortized cost of the security. If the amortized cost is greater than the present value of the expected cash flows, the difference is considered a credit loss and recognized as an impairment loss in net realized investment gains (losses). Credit impairments are recognized as an allowance on the Consolidated Balance Sheet with a corresponding adjustment to earnings. For fixed income securities that the Company does not intend to sell or for which it is more likely than not that the Company would not be required to sell before an anticipated recovery in value, the Company separates the credit loss component of the impairment from the amount related to all other factors and reports the credit loss component in net realized investment gains (losses). The impairment related to all other factors (non-credit factors) is reported in other comprehensive income. The allowance is adjusted for any additional credit losses and subsequent recoveries. Upon recognizing a credit loss, the cost basis is not adjusted. For fixed income securities the Company intends to sell or for which it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell before an anticipated recovery in value, the full amount of the impairment is included in net investment gains (losses). The new cost basis of the investment is the previous amortized cost basis less the impairment recognized in net investment gains (losses). The new cost basis is not adjusted for any subsequent recoveries in fair value. The Company reports investment income accrued separately from fixed income investments, available for sale, and has elected not to measure an allowance for credit losses for investment income accrued. Investment income accrued is written off through net realized investment gains (losses) at the time the issuer of the bond defaults or is expected to default on payments. For more information on investment valuation measurements, see Part II, Item 8, Note 5 “Fair Value Measurements”. Revenue Recognition We record premiums written at policy inception and recognize them as revenue on a pro rata basis over the policy term or, in the case of crop insurance, over the period of risk. The portion of premiums that could be earned in the future is deferred and reported as unearned premiums. When policies lapse, the Company reverses the unearned portion of the written premium and removes the applicable unearned premium. Policy-related fee income is recognized when collected. The period of risk for our crop insurance program, which is comprised of primarily spring-planted crops, typically runs from April 1 (the approximate time when farmers can begin to work their fields) through December 15 (last date claims can be made for the most recent planting season). Premiums and Agents’ Balances Receivable Premiums and agents’ balances receivable include both direct and agent billed premiums as well as crop notes receivable related to the multi-peril crop and crop hail insurance. Accounts billed directly to the policyholder are provided grace payment and cancellation notice periods per state insurance regulations. Direct Auto also provides for agency billing for a portion of their agents. Accounts billed to agents are due within 60 days of the statement date. The agent is responsible for all past due balances. As part of its agent appointment, Direct Auto requires a personal guarantee for all balances due to Direct Auto from the principal of the contracted agency. Beginning on December 31, 2022, the premium and agents’ receivable balances are reported net of an allowance for expected credit losses. See Part II, Item 8, Note 2 “Recent Accounting Pronouncements” for additional information. We recognized $425 of credit losses for these receivables at the time of adoption of CECL. Therefore, there was no beginning balance of credit losses as of January 1, 2022, and all 2022 activity was the result of adoption. As a result of the transition from the previous accounting treatment, we did not record a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings at the time of adoption. Given the nature of these receivables, the Company has elected to use a loss-rate method to determine the expected credit losses. The allowance is based upon the Company’s ongoing review of amounts outstanding and write-offs. Management may also evaluate current economic conditions and reasonable/supportable forecasts to adjust this calculation as deemed necessary. Policy Acquisition Costs We defer our policy acquisition costs, consisting primarily of commissions, premium taxes, and certain other underwriting costs, reduced by ceding commissions, which vary with and relate directly to the production of business. We amortize these deferred policy acquisition costs over the period in which we earn the premiums. The method we follow in computing deferred policy acquisition costs limits the amount of such deferred costs to their estimated realizable value, which gives effect to the premium to be earned, related investment income, losses and loss adjustment expenses, and certain other costs we expect to incur as we earn the premium. Property and Equipment We report property and equipment at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is typically computed using the straight-line method based upon estimated useful lives of the assets. Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses Liabilities for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses are estimates at a given point in time of the amounts we expect to pay with respect to policyholder claims based on facts and circumstances then known. At the time of establishing our estimates, we recognize that our ultimate liability for losses and loss adjustment expenses may differ from these estimates. We base our estimates of liabilities for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses on assumptions as to future loss trends, expected claims severity, judicial theories of liability, and other factors. During the loss adjustment period, we may learn additional facts regarding certain claims, and, consequently, it often becomes necessary for us to refine and adjust our estimates of the liability. We reflect any adjustments to our liabilities for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses in our operating results in the period in which we determine the need for a change in the estimates. We maintain liabilities for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses with respect to both reported and unreported claims. We establish these liabilities for the purpose of covering the ultimate costs of settling all losses incurred through the reporting date, including investigation and litigation costs. We base the amount of our liability for reported losses primarily upon a case-by-case evaluation of the type of risk involved, knowledge of the circumstances surrounding each claim, and the insurance policy provisions relating to the type of loss our policyholder incurred. We determine the amount of our liability for unreported losses and loss adjustment expenses on the basis of historical information by line of insurance. Inflation is not explicitly selected in the loss reserve analysis. However, historical inflation is embedded in the estimated loss development factors. We closely monitor our liabilities and update them periodically using new information on reported claims and a variety of statistical techniques. We do not discount our liabilities for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses. Reserve estimates can change over time because of unexpected changes in assumptions related to our external environment and, to a lesser extent, assumptions as to our internal operations. Assumptions related to our external environment include the potential impact of significant changes in tort law and the legal environment which may impact liability exposure, the trends in judicial interpretations of insurance coverage and policy provisions, and the rate of loss cost inflation. Internal assumptions include consistency in the recording of premium and loss data, consistency in the recording of claims, payment and case reserving methodologies, accurate measurement of the impact of rate changes and changes in policy provisions, consistency in the quality and characteristics of business written within a given line of business, and consistency in reinsurance coverage and collectability of reinsured losses, among other items. To the extent we determine that underlying factors impacting our assumptions have changed, we attempt to make appropriate adjustments for such changes in our reserves. Accordingly, our ultimate liability for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses will likely differ from the amount recorded. Income Taxes With the exception of Battle Creek, which files a stand-alone federal income tax return, we file a consolidated federal income tax return which includes NI Holdings and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Insurance companies typically pay state premium taxes rather than state income taxes. However, Direct Auto is subject to state income taxes in the state of Illinois, in addition to state premium taxes. Additionally, NI Holdings, on a stand-alone basis, pays state income taxes to the state of North Dakota for income or losses generated as a separate financial entity. State premium taxes are included as a part of amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs. State income taxes are reported along with federal income taxes as income tax expense (benefit). The Company did not have any material uncertain tax positions as of December 31, 2023 and 2022. The Company’s policy is to recognize tax-related interest and penalties accrued related to unrecognized benefits as a component of income tax expense. The Company did not recognize any tax-related interest and penalties, nor did it have any tax-related interest or penalties accrued as of December 31, 2023 and 2022. We account for deferred income taxes using the asset and liability method. The objective of the asset and liability method is to establish deferred income tax assets and liabilities for the temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the income tax basis of our assets and liabilities at enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when we realize or settle such amounts. We re-measure existing deferred income tax assets (including loss carryforwards) and liabilities when a change in tax rate occurs and record an offset for the net amount of the change as a component of income tax expense from continuing operations in the period of enactment. We also record any change to a previously recorded valuation allowance as a result of re-measuring existing temporary differences and loss carryforwards as a component of income tax expense from continuing operations. The Company has elected to reclassify any tax effects stranded in accumulated other comprehensive income as a result of a change in income tax rates to retained earnings. Earnings Per Share Earnings per share are computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the same period. Unearned shares related to the Company’s ESOP are not considered outstanding until they are released and allocated to plan participants. Unearned shares related to the Company’s Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”) and Performance Share Units (“PSUs”) are not considered outstanding until they are earned by award participants. See Part II, Item 8, Note 12 “Benefit Plans” and Note 18 “Share-Based Compensation”. Credit Risk Our primary investment objective is to earn competitive returns by investing in a diversified portfolio of securities. Our portfolio of fixed income securities and, to a lesser extent, short-term investments, is subject to credit risk. We define this risk as the potential loss in fair value resulting from adverse changes in the borrower’s ability to repay the debt. We manage this risk by performing an analysis of prospective investments and through regular reviews of our portfolio by our management team and investment advisors. We also limit the amount of our total investment portfolio that we invest in any one security. Property and liability insurance coverages are marketed through captive agents in North Dakota and through independent insurance agencies located throughout all other operating areas. All business, except for the majority of Direct Auto’s business, is billed directly to the policyholders. We maintain cash balances primarily at one bank, which are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to $250. During the normal course of business, balances are maintained above the FDIC insurance limit. The Company maintains short-term investment balances in investment grade money market accounts that are insured by the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (“SIPC”) up to $500. During the normal course of business, balances for these accounts are often maintained in excess of the SIPC insurance limit. Reinsurance The Company limits the maximum net loss that can arise from large risks or risks in concentrated areas of exposure by reinsuring (ceding) certain levels of risks to reinsurers, either on an automatic basis under general reinsurance contracts known as treaties or through facultative contracts placed on substantial individual risks. Ceded reinsurance is treated as the risk and liability of the assuming companies. The ceding of insurance does not legally discharge us from primary liability under our policies, and we must pay the loss if the reinsurer fails to meet its obligation. Amounts recoverable from reinsurers are estimated in a manner consistent with the associated claim liability. Beginning on December 31, 2022, credit losses are recognized through an allowance account developed using the CECL model. See Part II, Item 8, Note 2 “Recent Accounting Pronouncements” for additional information. The allowance is based upon the Company’s ongoing review of amounts outstanding, length of collection periods, changes in reinsurer credit standing, disputes, applicable coverage defenses and other relevant factors. Management has concluded that it is not necessary to record an allowance for expected credit losses related to reinsurance recoverables. All of our significant reinsurance partners are rated “A-” (Excellent) or better by AM Best, and there is no history of write-offs. Goodwill and Other Intangibles Goodwill assets arise from business combinations and consist of the excess of the fair value of consideration paid over the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. We evaluate goodwill and other intangible assets for impairment on an annual basis or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that the carrying amount of goodwill and other intangible assets may exceed their fair value. When performing our goodwill impairment analyses, we typically first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. In making our assessment, we evaluate a number of factors including operating results, key changes in the reporting unit, business plans, macroeconomic conditions, and industry considerations. Inherent uncertainties exist with respect to these factors and to our judgment in applying them when we make our assessment, and impairment of goodwill and other intangibles could result from changes in economic and operating conditions in future periods. We may also choose to bypass the qualitative assessment in any period for any reporting unit and proceed directly to performing the quantitative assessment. If our qualitative assessment indicates it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount or we choose to bypass the qualitative assessment, we will perform a quantitative assessment that compares the reporting unit’s carrying value with its estimated fair value. The determination of the fair value of our reporting units is based on a combination of a market approach that considers benchmark company market multiples, and an income approach that utilizes discounted cash flows. The cash flows used to determine fair value are dependent on a number of significant management assumptions such as our expectations of future performance and the expected future economic environment, which are partly based upon our historical experience. Our estimates are subject to change given the inherent uncertainty in predicting future results. While we believe such assumptions and estimates are reasonable, the actual results may differ materially from the projected amounts. Should the carrying value exceed the estimated fair value, a goodwill impairment charge will be recognized in the amount by which the reporting unit’s carrying amount exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the total goodwill assigned to the reporting unit. For the goodwill arising from the acquisition of Primero in 2014, we performed the annual qualitative assessment as of the beginning of the fourth quarter of 2023 and concluded there was no impairment of the goodwill. We also did not record any impairments of goodwill for this reporting unit during the years ended December 31, 2022 or 2021. For the goodwill arising from the acquisition of Westminster in 2020, we determined that it was appropriate to perform a quantitative assessment during the fourth quarter of 2023. Based on our quantitative assessment as described above, we concluded that the goodwill related to Westminster was fully impaired as of December 31, 2023, primarily due to Westminster’s actual and expected future performance being well below initial projections and expectations. We did not record any impairments of goodwill for this reporting unit during the years ended December 31, 2022 or 2021. Intangible assets arising from the acquisition of Direct Auto in 2018 represent the estimated fair values of certain intangible assets, including a favorable lease contract, a state insurance license, the value of the Direct Auto trade name, and the value of business acquired (“VOBA”). The state insurance license asset has an indefinite life, while the Direct Auto trade name was amortized over five years from the August 31, 2018 acquisition/valuation date. The favorable lease contract and VOBA assets have been fully amortized. We did not record any impairments of the intangible assets for this reporting unit during the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 or 2021. Other intangible assets arising from the acquisition of Westminster represent the estimated fair values of certain intangible assets, including state insurance licenses, the value of Westminster’s distribution network, the value of the Westminster trade name, and the VOBA. The state insurance license asset has an indefinite life, while the distribution networks asset and Westminster trade name are being amortized over twenty years and ten years, respectively, from the January 1, 2020 acquisition/valuation date. The VOBA asset has been fully amortized. We did not record any impairments of the other intangible assets for this reporting unit during the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 or 2021. |

We determine the credit loss component of fixed income securities by utilizing discounted cash flow modeling to determine the present value of the security and comparing the present value with the amortized cost of the security. We did not recognize any credit losses for fixed income securities at the time of adoption of the new credit loss accounting standard or during the year ended December 31, 2023. Therefore, there was no beginning or ending balance of credit losses for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2023.

Fair Value Measurements [Abstract] | |
Fair Value Measurements | 5. Fair Value Measurements The Company uses fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets to determine fair value disclosures. Investment securities available for sale are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Additionally, from time to time, we may be required to record other assets or liabilities at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. These nonrecurring fair value adjustments typically involve application of lower-of-cost-or-market accounting or write-downs of individual assets. Accounting guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods used to measure fair value. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows: Level 1 Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities. Level 2 Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. Level 2 includes fixed income securities with quoted prices that are traded less frequently than exchange traded instruments. Valuation techniques include matrix pricing which is a mathematical technique used widely in the industry to value fixed income securities without relying exclusively on quoted market prices for the specific securities but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted prices. Level 3 Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (i.e., supported with little or no market activity). The Company bases its fair values on the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. It is our policy to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when developing fair value measurements, in accordance with the fair value hierarchy. Fair value measurements for assets where there exists limited or no observable market data and, therefore, are based primarily upon the estimates of the Company or other third-parties, are often calculated based on the characteristics of the asset, the economic and competitive environment, and other such factors. Management uses its best judgment in estimating the fair value of the Company’s financial instruments; however, there are inherent weaknesses in any estimation technique. Therefore, for substantially all financial instruments, the fair value estimates herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts which we could have realized in a sale transaction on the dates indicated. The estimated fair value amounts have been measured as of their respective period-end and have not been re-evaluated or updated for purposes of our consolidated financial statements subsequent to those respective dates. As such, the estimated fair values of these financial instruments subsequent to the respective reporting dates may be different than the amounts reported at each period-end. Additionally, changes in the underlying assumptions used, including discount rates and estimates of future cash flows, could significantly affect the results of current or future valuations. The Company uses quoted values and other data provided by an independent pricing service in its process for determining fair values of its investments. The evaluations of such pricing services represent an exit price and a good faith opinion as to what a buyer in the marketplace would pay for a security in a current sale. This pricing service provides us with one quote per instrument. For fixed income securities that have quoted prices in active markets, market quotations are provided. For fixed income securities that do not trade on a daily basis, the independent pricing service prepares estimates of fair value using a wide array of observable inputs including relevant market information, benchmark curves, benchmarking of like securities, sector groupings, and matrix pricing. The observable market inputs that the Company’s independent pricing service utilizes may include benchmark yields, reported trades, broker-dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, market bids/offers, and other reference data on markets, industry, and the economy. Additionally, the independent pricing service uses an option-adjusted spread model to develop prepayment and interest rate scenarios. Should the independent pricing service be unable to provide a fair value estimate, we would first attempt to obtain a fair value estimate from our third-party investment advisors who utilize different independent pricing services. If unsuccessful, we would attempt to obtain a non-binding fair value estimate from a number of broker-dealers and would review this estimate in conjunction with a fair value estimate reported by an independent business news service or other sources. In instances where only one broker-dealer provides a fair value for a fixed income security, we would use that estimate. In instances where the Company would be able to obtain fair value estimates from more than one broker-dealer, we would review the range of estimates and select the most appropriate value based on the facts and circumstances. Should neither the independent pricing service nor a broker-dealer provide a fair value estimate, we would develop a fair value estimate based on cash flow analyses and other valuation techniques that utilize certain unobservable inputs. Accordingly, the Company classifies such a security as a Level 3 investment. The fair value estimates of our investments provided by the independent pricing service at each period-end were utilized, among other resources, in reaching a conclusion as to the fair value of its investments. Management reviews the reasonableness of the pricing provided by the independent pricing service by employing various analytical procedures. We also use information from our third-party investment advisors who utilize different independent pricing services to further validate the reasonableness of the valuation of our fixed income portfolio. If, after this review, management does not believe the pricing for any security is a reasonable estimate of fair value, then it will seek to resolve the discrepancy through discussions with the independent pricing service. In its review, management did not identify any such discrepancies and no adjustments were made to the estimates provided by the independent pricing service for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, or 2021. The classification within the fair value hierarchy is then confirmed based on the final conclusions from the pricing review. The valuation of money market accounts and equity securities are generally based on Level 1 inputs, which use the market-approach valuation technique. The valuation of certain cash equivalents and our fixed income securities generally incorporates significant Level 2 inputs using the market and income approach techniques. We may assign a lower level to inputs typically considered to be Level 2 based on our assessment of liquidity and relative level of uncertainty surrounding inputs. There were no assets or liabilities classified at Level 3 at December 31, 2023 or 2022. The following tables set forth our assets which are measured on a recurring basis by the level within the fair value hierarchy in which fair value measurements fall: December 31, 2023 Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Fixed income securities: U.S. Government and agencies $ 10,262 $ — $ 10,262 $ — Obligations of states and political subdivisions 51,461 — 51,461 — Corporate securities 142,216 — 142,216 — Residential mortgage-backed securities 61,163 — 61,163 — Commercial mortgage-backed securities 29,439 — 29,439 — Asset-backed securities 49,029 — 49,029 — Redeemable preferred stock 4,161 — 4,161 — Total fixed income securities 347,731 — 347,731 — Equity securities: Common stock 25,890 25,890 — — Non-redeemable preferred stock 1,877 1,877 — — Total equity securities 27,767 27,767 — — Money market accounts and cash equivalents 25,596 19,412 6,184 — Total assets at fair value $ 401,094 $ 47,179 $ 353,915 $ — December 31, 2022 Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Fixed income securities: U.S. Government and agencies $ 10,167 $ — $ 10,167 $ — Obligations of states and political subdivisions 53,926 — 53,926 — Corporate securities 121,159 — 121,159 — Residential mortgage-backed securities 47,493 — 47,493 — Commercial mortgage-backed securities 26,135 — 26,135 — Asset-backed securities 40,725 — 40,725 — Redeemable preferred stocks 3,719 — 3,719 — Total fixed income securities 303,324 — 303,324 — Equity securities: Common stock 50,699 50,699 — — Non-redeemable preferred stocks 1,694 1,694 — — Total equity securities 52,393 52,393 — — Money market accounts and cash equivalents 27,255 27,255 — — Total assets at fair value $ 382,972 $ 79,648 $ 303,324 $ — There were no liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at December 31, 2023 or 2022. |

Reinsurance [Abstract] | |
Reinsurance | 6. Reinsurance External Reinsurance The Company’s consolidated financial statements reflect the effects of assumed and ceded reinsurance transactions. Assumed reinsurance refers to the acceptance of certain insurance risks that other insurance companies have underwritten. Ceded reinsurance involves transferring certain insurance risks (along with the related written and earned premiums) the Company has underwritten to other insurance companies who agree to share these risks. The primary purpose of these agreements is to protect the Company, at a cost, from losses in excess of the amount it is prepared to accept and to protect the Company’s capital. Our ceded reinsurance is placed either on an automatic basis under general reinsurance contracts known as treaties or through facultative contracts placed on substantial individual risks. These contracts do not relieve the Company from its obligations to policyholders. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company maintained property catastrophe reinsurance protection covering $133,000 in excess of a $20,000 retention. Additionally, per risk excess of loss treaties provided coverage of $4,000 in excess of $1,000 for property risks and $11,000 in excess of $1,000 for casualty risks, with facultative contracts in place to provide coverage up to $20,000 in excess of $5,000 per property. Aggregate stop loss reinsurance agreements were placed for both crop hail and multi-peril crop coverage. The crop hail aggregate attached at a 100% net loss ratio providing 50 points of cover. The multi-peril crop aggregate attached at a 105% net loss ratio providing 45 points of cover. In addition to the aggregate covers, underlying multi-peril crop reinsurance was provided through the FCIC. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company maintained property catastrophe reinsurance protection covering $125,000 in excess of a $15,000 retention. Additionally, per risk excess of loss treaties provided coverage of $4,000 in excess of $1,000 for property risks and $11,000 in excess of $1,000 for casualty risks, with facultative contracts in place to provide coverage up to $20,000 in excess of $5,000 per property. Aggregate stop loss reinsurance agreements were placed for both crop hail and multi-peril crop coverage. The crop hail aggregate attached at a 100% net loss ratio providing 50 points of cover. The multi-peril crop aggregate attached at a 105% net loss ratio providing 45 points of cover. In addition to the aggregate covers, underlying multi-peril crop reinsurance was provided through the FCIC. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company maintained property catastrophe reinsurance protection covering $117,000 in excess of a $10,000 retention. Additionally, per risk excess of loss treaties provided coverage of $4,300 in excess of $700 for property risks and $11,300 in excess of $700 for casualty risks, with facultative contracts in place to provide coverage up to $20,000 in excess of $5,000 per property. Aggregate stop loss reinsurance agreements were placed for both crop hail and multi-peril crop coverage. The crop hail aggregate attached at a 100% net loss ratio providing 50 points of cover. The multi-peril crop aggregate attached at a 105% net loss ratio providing 45 points of cover. In addition to the aggregate covers, underlying multi-peril crop reinsurance was provided through the FCIC. The Company experienced multiple catastrophe events during 2022 which resulted in reinsurance recoveries of $5,362 as of December 31, 2023. The Company experienced one catastrophe event during 2021 which resulted in a reinsurance recovery of $5,764 as of December 31, 2023. For 2024, the Company’s catastrophe retention and retention limit will remain consistent with the prior year, and there were no changes made to limits, retentions, or attachment points in our other reinsurance contracts. The Company actively monitors and evaluates the financial condition of the reinsurers and develops estimates of the uncollectible amounts due from reinsurers. Beginning on December 31, 2022, credit losses are recognized through an allowance account developed using the CECL model. See Part II, Item 8, Note 2 “Recent Accounting Pronouncements” for additional information. Credit loss estimates are made based on periodic evaluation of balances due from reinsurers, changes in reinsurer credit standing, judgments regarding reinsurers’ solvency, known disputes, reporting characteristics of the underlying reinsured business, historical experience, current economic conditions, and the state of reinsurer relations in general. Collection risk is mitigated by entering into reinsurance arrangements only with reinsurers that have strong financial strength ratings. At December 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, management has concluded that it is not necessary to record an allowance for expected credit losses related to reinsurance recoverables. All of our significant reinsurance partners are rated “A-” (Excellent) or better by AM Best, and there is no history of write-offs. A reconciliation of direct to net premiums on both a written and an earned basis is as follows: Year Ended December 31, 2023 2022 2021 Premiums Premiums Premiums Premiums Premiums Premiums Direct premium $ 418,399 $ 401,945 $ 389,706 $ 368,886 $ 342,215 $ 333,254 Assumed premium 3,098 3,570 6,299 6,550 8,183 8,035 Ceded premium (54,848 ) (54,378 ) (46,993 ) (47,146 ) (42,629 ) (41,700 ) Net premiums $ 366,649 $ 351,137 $ 349,012 $ 328,290 $ 307,769 $ 299,589 A reconciliation of direct to net losses and loss adjustment expenses is as follows: Year Ended December 31, 2023 2022 2021 Direct losses and loss adjustment expenses $ 293,978 $ 333,397 $ 280,998 Assumed losses and loss adjustment expenses 1,140 2,369 6,899 Ceded losses and loss adjustment expenses (50,706 ) (41,334 ) (71,518 ) Net losses and loss adjustment expenses $ 244,412 $ 294,432 $ 216,379 If 100% of our ceded reinsurance was cancelled as of December 31, 2023, no ceded commissions would need to be returned to the reinsurers. Reinsurance contracts are typically effective from January 1 through December 31 each year. Intercompany Reinsurance Pooling Arrangement Effective January 1, 2020, all of our insurance subsidiary and affiliate companies entered into an intercompany reinsurance pooling agreement. This agreement was finalized, approved, and implemented during the fourth quarter of 2020, retroactive to the January 1 effective date. Nodak Insurance is the lead company of the pool, and assumes the net premiums, net losses, and underwriting expenses from each of the other five companies. Nodak Insurance then retrocedes balances back to each company, while retaining its own share of the pool’s net underwriting results, based on individual pool percentages established in the respective pooling agreement. This arrangement allows each insurance company to rely upon the capacity of the pool’s total statutory capital and surplus. As a result, they are evaluated by AM Best on a group basis and hold a single combined financial strength rating, long-term issuer credit rating, and financial size category. For the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021, the pooling share percentages by insurance company were: Pool Percentage Nodak Insurance Company 66.0% American West Insurance Company 7.0% Primero Insurance Company 3.0% Battle Creek Mutual Insurance Company 2.0% Direct Auto Insurance Company 13.0% Westminster American Insurance Company 9.0% Total 100.0% |

Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs | 7. Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs Expenses directly related to successfully acquired insurance policies, primarily commissions, premium taxes and underwriting costs, are deferred and amortized over the terms of the policies. We update our acquisition cost assumptions periodically to reflect actual experience, and we evaluate the costs for recoverability. The table below shows the deferred policy acquisition costs and asset reconciliation: Year Ended December 31, 2023 2022 2021 Balance, beginning of year $ 29,768 $ 24,947 $ 23,968 Deferral of policy acquisition costs 87,343 71,624 65,553 Amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs (82,991 ) (66,803 ) (64,574 ) Balance, end of year $ 34,120 $ 29,768 $ 24,947 |

Unpaid Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses | 8. Unpaid Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses Activity in the liability for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses is summarized as follows: Year Ended December 31, 2023 2022 2021 Balance, beginning of year: Liability for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses $ 190,459 $ 139,662 $ 105,750 Reinsurance recoverables on losses 37,575 21,200 8,710 Net balance, beginning of year 152,884 118,462 97,040 Incurred related to: Current year 223,960 293,283 220,517 Prior years 20,452 1,149 (4,138 ) Total incurred 244,412 294,432 216,379 Paid related to: Current year 138,598 197,250 150,278 Prior years 90,548 62,760 44,679 Total paid 229,146 260,010 194,957 Balance, end of year: Liability for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses 217,119 190,459 139,662 Reinsurance recoverables on losses 48,969 37,575 21,200 Net balance, end of year $ 168,150 $ 152,884 $ 118,462 During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company’s incurred reported losses and loss adjustment expenses included $20,452 of net unfavorable development on prior accident years, primarily attributable to unfavorable development for the Westminster commercial and Direct Auto non-standard auto businesses partially offset by favorable development for Battle Creek, American West, and Nodak Insurance. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company’s incurred reported losses and loss adjustment expenses included $1,149 of net unfavorable development on prior accident years, primarily attributable to unfavorable development for the Westminster commercial business partially offset by favorable development for Battle Creek and Nodak Insurance. During the year ended December 31, 2021, incurred reported losses and loss adjustment expenses included $4,138 of net favorable development on prior accident years, primarily attributable to the Direct Auto non-standard auto business. Changes in unpaid losses and loss adjustment expense reserves are generally the result of ongoing analysis of recent loss development trends. As additional information becomes known regarding individual claims, original estimates are increased or decreased accordingly. The tables on the following pages present information, organized by our primary operating segments, about incurred and paid claims development as of December 31, 2023, net of reinsurance, as well as cumulative claim frequency and the total of IBNR reserves plus expected development on reported claims. The cumulative number of reported claims represents open claims, claims closed with payment, and claims closed without payment. It does not include an estimated amount for unreported claims. The number of claims is measured by claim event (such as a car accident or storm damage) and an individual claim event may result in more than one reported claim (such as a car accident with both property and liability damages). The Company considers a claim that does not result in a liability as a claim closed without payment. The segment information presented in the tables is prior to the effects of the intercompany reinsurance pooling arrangement. The tables include unaudited information about incurred and paid claims development for the years ended December 31, 2014 (a) through 2015 for the Private Passenger Auto, Primero Non-Standard Auto, Home and Farm, and Crop segments, (b) through 2017 for the Direct Auto Non-Standard Auto information, and (c) through 2019 for the Westminster Commercial information, which we present as supplementary information.

Goodwill and Other Intangibles | 10. Goodwill and Other Intangibles The following table presents the carrying amount of the Company’s goodwill and related impairment by segment: Year Ended December 31, 2023 2022 Non-standard Commercial Total Non-standard Commercial Total Goodwill, beginning of year $ 2,628 $ 6,756 $ 9,384 $ 2,628 $ 6,756 $ 9,384 Impairment recognized during the period — (6,756 ) (6,756 ) — — — Goodwill, end of year $ 2,628 $ — $ 2,628 $ 2,628 $ 6,756 $ 9,384 Based on the qualitative analysis performed for the goodwill related to our non-standard auto segment as of the beginning of the fourth quarter of 2023, we concluded that goodwill was not impaired. We performed a quantitative assessment of the goodwill related to the Westminster acquisition during the fourth quarter of 2023, which is allocated to our commercial segment, and concluded that the goodwill was fully impaired as of December 31, 2023, resulting in a non-cash impairment charge of $6,756 in the current year. The determination of the fair value of the reporting unit was based on a combination of a market approach that considered benchmark company market multiples, and an income approach that utilized discounted cash flows. Under the income approach, we determined fair value based on the present value of the most recent cash flow projections for the reporting unit as of the date of the analysis and calculated a terminal value utilizing a terminal growth rate. The significant assumptions under this approach include, among others: income projections, new product introductions, customer behavior, competitor pricing, operating expenses, the discount rate, and the terminal growth rate. The cash flows used to determine fair value are dependent on a number of significant management assumptions such as our expectations of future performance and the expected future economic environment, which are partly based upon our historical experience. Our estimates are subject to change given the inherent uncertainty in predicting future results. Additionally, the discount rate and the terminal growth rate are based on our judgment of the rates that would be utilized by a hypothetical market participant.

Royalties, Dividends, and Affiliations [Abstract] | |
Royalties, Dividends, and Affiliations | 11. Royalties, Dividends, and Affiliations North Dakota Farm Bureau Nodak Insurance was organized by the NDFB to provide insurance protection for its members. We have a royalty agreement with the NDFB that recognizes the use of their trademark and provides royalties to the NDFB based on the premiums written on Nodak Insurance’s policies. Royalties paid to the NDFB were $1,603, $1,453, and $1,369 during the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021, respectively. Royalty amounts payable of $131 and $119 were accrued as a liability to the NDFB at December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Dividends State insurance laws require our insurance subsidiaries to maintain certain minimum capital and surplus amounts on a statutory basis. Our insurance subsidiaries are subject to regulations that restrict the payment of dividends from statutory surplus and may require prior approval from their domiciliary insurance regulatory authorities. Our insurance subsidiaries are also subject to risk-based capital requirements that may further affect their ability to pay dividends. Our insurance subsidiaries statutory capital and surplus at December 31, 2023, exceeded the amount of statutory capital and surplus necessary to satisfy risk-based capital requirements by a significant margin. There is no amount available for payment of dividends from Nodak Insurance to NI Holdings during 2024 without the prior approval of the North Dakota Insurance Department. Prior to its payment of any dividend, Nodak Insurance will be required to provide notice of the dividend to the North Dakota Insurance Department. This notice must be provided to the North Dakota Insurance Department 30 days prior to the payment of an extraordinary dividend and 10 days prior to the payment of an ordinary dividend. The North Dakota Insurance Department has the power to limit or prohibit dividend payments if an insurance company is in violation of any law or regulation. These restrictions or any subsequently imposed restrictions may affect our future liquidity. The Nodak Insurance Board of Directors declared and paid dividends of $3,000 to NI Holdings during the year ended December 31, 2022. No Direct Auto re-domesticated from Illinois to North Dakota during 2021 and is now subject to the same dividend restrictions as Nodak Insurance. The amount available for payment of dividends from Direct Auto to NI Holdings during 2024 without the prior approval of the North Dakota Insurance Department is approximately $90 as of December 31, 2023. No Westminster re-domesticated from Maryland to North Dakota during 2021 and is now subject to the same dividend restrictions as Nodak Insurance. The amount available for payment of dividends from Westminster to NI Holdings during 2024 without the prior approval of the North Dakota Insurance Department is approximately $1,200 as of December 31, 2023.

Benefit Plans [Abstract] | |
Benefit Plans | 12. Benefit Plans Nodak Insurance sponsors a 401(k) plan with an automatic and matching contribution for eligible employees at Nodak Insurance, Primero, and Direct Auto. Nodak Insurance also contributes an additional elective amount of employee compensation as a profit-sharing contribution for eligible employees. Westminster also sponsors a separate 401(k) plan. American West and Battle Creek have no employees. The Company reported expenses related to these plans totaling $806, $693, and $1,365 during the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021, respectively. All fees associated with the plans are deducted from the eligible employee accounts. The Company also offers a non-qualified deferred compensation plan to key executives of the Company (as designated by the Board of Directors). The Company’s policy is to fund the plan by amounts that represent the excess of the maximum contribution allowed by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act over the key executives’ allowable 401(k) contribution. The plan also allows employee-directed deferral of key executives’ compensation or incentive payments. The Company reported expenses related to this plan totaling $368, $325, and $914 during the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021, respectively. In connection with our IPO in March 2017, the Company established its ESOP, which is intended to be an employee stock ownership plan within the meaning of Internal Revenue Code Section 4975(e)(7) and invests solely in common stock of the Company. Upon establishment of the ESOP, Nodak Insurance loaned $2,400 to the ESOP’s related trust (the “ESOP Trust”). The ESOP loan was for a period of ten years, bearing interest at the long-term Applicable Federal Rate effective on the closing date of the offering (2.79% annually). The ESOP Trust used the proceeds of the loan to purchase shares in our IPO, which resulted in the ESOP Trust owning approximately 1.0% of the Company’s authorized shares. The ESOP has purchased the shares for investment and not for resale. The shares purchased by the ESOP Trust in the offering are held in a suspense account as collateral for the ESOP loan. Nodak Insurance makes semi-annual cash contributions to the ESOP in amounts no smaller than the amounts required for the ESOP Trust to make its loan payments to Nodak Insurance. While the ESOP makes two loan payments per year, a pre-determined portion of the shares are released from the suspense account and allocated to participant accounts at the end of the calendar year. This release and allocation occurs on an annual basis over the ten-year term of the ESOP loan. Nodak Insurance has a lien on the shares of common stock of the Company held by the ESOP to secure repayment of the loan from the ESOP to Nodak Insurance. If the ESOP is terminated as a result of a change in control of the Company, the ESOP may be required to pay the costs of terminating the plan. It is anticipated that the only assets held by the ESOP will be shares of the Company’s common stock. Participants in the ESOP cannot direct the investment of any assets allocated to their accounts. The ESOP participants are employees of Nodak Insurance. The employees of Primero, Direct Auto, and Westminster do not participate in the ESOP. Each employee of Nodak Insurance automatically becomes a participant in the ESOP if such employee is at least 21 years old, has completed a minimum of one thousand hours of service with Nodak Insurance, and has completed an Eligibility Computation Period. Employees are not permitted to make any contributions to the ESOP. Participants in the ESOP receive annual reports from the Company showing the number of shares of common stock of the Company allocated to the participants’ accounts and the market value of those shares. The shares are allocated to participants based on compensation as provided for in the ESOP. In connection with the establishment of the ESOP, the Company created a contra-equity account on the Consolidated Balance Sheet equal to the ESOP’s basis in the shares. The basis of those shares was set at $10.00 per share as part of the IPO. As shares are released from the ESOP suspense account, the contra-equity account is credited, which reduces the impact of the contra-equity account on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet over time. The Company records compensation expense related to the shares released, equal to the number of shares released from the suspense account multiplied by the average market value of the Company’s stock during the period. The Company recognized compensation expense related to the ESOP of $322, $380, and $460 during the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021, respectively. Through December 31, 2023, the Company had released and allocated 170,205 ESOP shares to participants, with a remainder of 69,795 ESOP shares in suspense at December 31, 2023. Using the Company’s year-end market price of $12.99 per share, the fair value of the unearned ESOP shares was $907 at December 31, 2023. |

We record any change to a previously recorded valuation allowance as a result of re-measuring existing temporary differences and loss carryforwards as a component of income tax expense (benefit) from continuing operations. The valuation allowance against certain deferred income tax assets was $505, $694, and $1,008 at December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021, respectively. The income tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to significant portions of our deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities at December 31, 2023 and 2022, were as follows: December 31, 2023 2022 Deferred income tax assets: Unearned premium $ 7,371 $ 6,725 Unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses 1,681 1,430 Net unrealized losses on investments 6,421 6,586 Net operating loss carryovers 851 1,194 Deferred compensation 579 500 Other 1,269 1,465 Total deferred income tax assets 18,172 17,900 Deferred income tax liabilities: Deferred policy acquisition costs 7,693 6,766 Intangibles 1,243 1,356 Other 318 79 Total deferred income tax liabilities 9,254 8,201 Net deferred income tax asset 8,918 9,699 Valuation allowance (505 ) (694 ) Deferred income tax asset, net $ 8,413 $ 9,005 At December 31, 2023 and 2022, we had no unrecognized tax benefits, no accrued interest and penalties, and no significant uncertain tax positions. No interest and penalties were recognized during the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, or 2021. At December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company, other than Battle Creek and Westminster, had no income tax related carryforwards for net operating losses, alternative minimum tax credits, or capital losses. Battle Creek, which files its federal income tax returns on a stand-alone basis, had net operating loss carryforwards of $3,756 and $3,963 at December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The net operating loss carryforwards expire through 2032. Westminster, which became part of the Company’s consolidated federal income tax return beginning in 2020, had $1,270 of net operating loss carryforward at December 31, 2022. This net operating loss carryforward expired in 2023. |

Leases | 15. Leases Primero leases a facility in Spearfish, South Dakota under a non-cancellable operating lease expiring in 2028, and leases a facility in Las Vegas, Nevada on a month-to-month basis. Direct Auto leases a facility in Chicago, Illinois under a non-cancellable operating lease expiring in 2029. Nodak Insurance leases a facility in Fargo, North Dakota under a non-cancellable operating lease expiring in 2024. In addition, Nodak Insurance leases server equipment under a non-cancellable finance lease expiring in 2026. Effective for the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company adopted the updated guidance for leases. See Part II, Item 8, Note 2 “Recent Accounting Pronouncements” for additional information. We determine whether a contract is or contains a lease at the inception of the contract. A contract will be deemed to be or contain a lease if the contract conveys the right to control and directs the use of identified property or equipment for a period of time in exchange for consideration. We generally must also have the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of the property and equipment. Lease assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. To determine the present value of lease payments not yet paid, we estimate incremental borrowing rates based on the floating interest rate on our Line of Credit with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. at the lease commencement date, as rates are not implicitly stated in most leases. Lease liabilities are included in accrued expenses and other liabilities and right-of-use assets are included in other assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. There were expenses of $407, $391, and $250 related to these leases during the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021, respectively. Additional information regarding the Company’s leases are as follows: As of and For the Year Ended December 31, 2023 2022 Operating lease cost $ 389 $ 391 Finance lease cost: Amortization of right-of-use assets 14 — Interest on lease liabilities 4 — Finance lease cost 18 — Total lease cost $ 407 $ 391 Other information on leases: Cash payments included in operating cash flows from operating leases $ 408 $ 340 Cash payments included in operating cash flows from finance leases 4 — Cash payments included in financing cash flows from finance leases 16 — Right-of-use assets obtained in exchange for new operating lease liabilities 247 — Right-of-use assets obtained in exchange for new finance lease liabilities 319 — Weighted average discount rate – operating leases 3.94% 3.25% Weighted average discount rate – finance leases 8.50% — Weighted average remaining lease term in years – operating leases 5.3 years 6.3 years Weighted average remaining lease term in years – finance leases 2.8 years — The following table presents the contractual maturities of the Company’s lease liabilities Year ending December 31, Operating Leases Finance Leases Total 2024 $ 381 $ 120 $ 501 2025 346 120 466 2026 351 100 451 2027 356 — 356 2028 331 — 331 Thereafter 178 — 178 Total undiscounted lease payments 1,943 340 2,283 Less: present value adjustment 184 36 220 Lease liability at December 31, 2023 $ 1,759 $ 304 $ 2,063 |

Common and Preferred Stock | 17. Common and Preferred Stock Common Stock Changes in the number of common stock shares outstanding were as follows: Year Ended December 31, 2023 2022 2021 Shares outstanding, beginning 21,076,255 21,219,808 21,318,638 Treasury shares repurchased through stock repurchase authorization (548,549 ) (269,160 ) (225,205 ) Issuance of treasury shares for vesting of stock awards 47,887 101,292 102,060 Issuance of shares related to employee stock ownership plan 24,315 24,315 24,315 Shares outstanding, ending 20,599,908 21,076,255 21,219,808 The changes in the number of common shares outstanding excludes certain non-forfeitable stock award shares that are included in the weighted average common shares outstanding used in basic earnings per common share calculations. The net loss per diluted common share for the year ended December 31, 2023, excluded the weighted average effects of 76,532 shares of stock awards since the impacts of these potential shares of common stock were anti-dilutive. The net loss per diluted common share for the year ended December 31, 2022, excluded the weighted average effects of 155,463 shares of stock awards since the impacts of these potential shares of common stock were anti-dilutive. On May 4, 2020, our Board of Directors approved an authorization for the repurchase of up to approximately $10,000 of the Company’s outstanding common stock. During the year ended December 31, 2020, we completed the repurchase of 454,443 shares of our common stock for $7,238 under this authorization. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we repurchased an additional 144,110 shares of our common stock for $2,762 to close out this authorization. On August 11, 2021, our Board of Directors approved an authorization for the repurchase of up to approximately $5,000 of the Company’s outstanding common stock. During the year ended December 31, 2021, we completed the repurchase of 81,095 shares of our common stock for $1,554 under this authorization. During the year ended December 31, 2022, we completed the repurchase of 214,937 shares of our common stock for $3,446 to close out this authorization. On May 9, 2022, our Board of Directors approved an authorization for the repurchase of up to approximately $10,000 of the Company’s outstanding common stock. During the year ended December 31, 2022, we completed the repurchase of 54,223 shares of our common stock for $734 under this authorization. During the year ended December 31, 2023, we completed the repurchase of 548,549 shares of our common stock for $7,278, including the applicable excise tax discussed below. At December 31, 2023, $2,052 remains available under this authorization. The cost of this treasury stock is a reduction of shareholders’ equity within our Consolidated Balance Sheets. On August 16, 2022, the U.S. government enacted the Inflation Reduction Act (“IRA”) which, among other changes, created a new corporate alternative minimum tax (“AMT”) based on adjusted financial statement income and imposes a 1% excise tax on corporate stock repurchases, subject to certain adjustments. The effective date of these provisions was January 1, 2023. The Company is not currently subject to the AMT based on our reported GAAP earnings for the past three years. For periods subsequent to the effective date of the IRA, the cost of treasury stock acquired will include any 1% excise tax imposed by the IRA. The Company does not expect the IRA to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position and results of operations. Preferred Stock The Company’s Articles of Incorporation provide authority to issue up to five million shares of preferred stock. No preferred shares are issued or outstanding. |

Share-Based Compensation [Abstract] | |
Share-Based Compensation | 18. Share-Based Compensation The NI Holdings, Inc. 2020 Stock and Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) is designed to promote the interests of the Company and its shareholders by aiding the Company in attracting and retaining employees, officers, consultants, independent contractors, advisors, and non-employee directors capable of assuring the future success of the Company, to offer such persons incentives to put forth maximum efforts for the success of the Company’s business and to afford such persons an opportunity to acquire an ownership interest in the Company, thereby aligning the interests of such persons with the Company’s shareholders. The Plan provides for the grant of nonqualified stock options, incentive stock options, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), stock appreciation rights, dividend equivalents, and performance share units (“PSUs”) to employees, officers, consultants, advisors, non-employee directors, and independent contractors designated by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Compensation Committee”). Awards made under the Plan are based upon, among other things, a participant’s level of responsibility and performance within the Company. The total aggregate number of shares of common stock that may be issued under the Plan shall not exceed 1,000,000 shares, subject to adjustments as provided in the Plan. No eligible participant may be granted any awards for more than 100,000 shares in the aggregate in any calendar year, subject to adjustment in accordance with the Plan. The aggregate amount payable pursuant to all performance awards denominated in cash to any eligible person in any calendar year is limited to $1,000 in value. Directors who are not also employees of the Company may not be granted awards denominated in shares that exceed $150 in any calendar year. Restricted Stock Units The Compensation Committee has awarded RSUs to non-employee directors and select executives. RSUs are promises to issue actual shares of common stock at the end of a vesting period. The RSUs granted to executives under the Plan were based on salary and vest 20% per year over a five-year period, while RSUs granted to non-employee directors vest 100% on the date of the next annual meeting of shareholders following the grant date. Dividend equivalents on RSUs are accrued during the vesting period and paid in cash at the end of the vesting period but are subject to forfeiture until the underlying shares become vested. Participants do not have voting rights with respect to RSUs. The Company recognizes stock-based compensation costs for RSUs based on the grant date fair value. The compensation costs are normally expensed over the vesting periods to each vesting date; however, the cost of RSUs granted to executives are expensed immediately if the executive has met certain retirement criteria and the RSUs become non-forfeitable. Estimated forfeitures are included in the determination of compensation costs. No forfeitures are currently estimated. A summary of the Company’s outstanding and unearned RSUs is presented below: RSUs Weighted-Average Fair Value Per Share Units outstanding and unearned at January 1, 2021 115,780 $ 15.27 RSUs granted during 2021 58,700 18.76 RSUs earned during 2021 (66,100 ) 15.77 Units outstanding and unearned at December 31, 2021 108,380 16.86 RSUs granted during 2022 59,600 17.61 RSUs earned during 2022 (52,620 ) 17.39 Units outstanding and unearned at December 31, 2022 115,360 17.00 RSUs granted during 2023 85,000 13.76 RSUs earned during 2023 (53,780 ) 16.32 Units outstanding and unearned at December 31, 2023 146,580 $ 15.37 The following table shows the impact of RSU activity to the Company’s financial results: Year Ended December 31, 2023 2022 2021 RSU compensation expense $ 1,095 $ 952 $ 1,065 Income tax benefit (249 ) (216 ) (242 ) RSU compensation expense, net of income taxes $ 846 $ 736 $ 823 Total grant-date fair value of vested RSUs at end of period $ 872 $ 915 $ 1,042 At December 31, 2023, there was $891 of unrecognized compensation cost related to outstanding RSUs. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.63 years. Performance Share Units The Compensation Committee has awarded PSUs to select executives. PSUs are promises to issue actual shares of common stock at the end of a vesting period, if certain performance conditions are met. The PSUs granted to employees under the Plan were based on salary and include a three-year adjusted book value cumulative growth target with threshold and stretch goals. They will vest on the third anniversary of the grant date, subject to the participant’s continuous employment through the vesting date and the level of performance achieved. Dividend equivalents on PSUs are accrued and paid in cash at the end of the performance period in accordance with the level of performance achieved but are subject to forfeiture until the underlying shares become vested. Participants do not have voting rights with respect to PSUs. The Company recognizes stock-based compensation costs for PSUs based on the grant date fair value over the performance period of the awards. Estimated forfeitures are included in the determination of compensation costs. The current cost estimates represent the Company’s forecasted performance against cumulative growth targets. A summary of the Company’s outstanding PSUs is presented below: PSUs Weighted-Average Units outstanding at January 1, 2021 174,600 $ 15.15 PSUs granted during 2021 (at target) 64,600 18.64 PSUs earned during 2021 (70,363 ) 16.25 Performance adjustment (1) 24,300 16.25 Forfeitures (2,537 ) 16.25 Units outstanding at December 31, 2021 190,600 16.06 PSUs granted during 2022 (at target) 61,800 18.10 PSUs earned during 2022 (86,684 ) 15.21 Performance adjustment (1) 31,200 15.21 Forfeitures (6,916 ) 15.21 Units outstanding at December 31, 2022 190,000 17.00 PSUs granted during 2023 (at target) 87,400 13.85 PSUs earned during 2023 — — Performance adjustment (1) (63,600 ) 14.26 Forfeitures — — Units outstanding at December 31, 2023 213,800 $ 16.53 (1) The following table shows the impact of PSU activity to the Company’s financial results: Year Ended December 31, 2023 2022 2021 PSU compensation expense (benefit) $ 206 $ (1,022 ) $ 1,344 Income tax expense (benefit) (47 ) 232 (305 ) PSU compensation expense (benefit), net of income taxes $ 159 $ (790 ) $ 1,039 Total grant-date fair value of vested PSUs at end of period $ — $ 1,319 $ 1,143 The cost estimates for PSU grants represent initial target awards until we can reasonably forecast the financial performance of each PSU award grant. As of December 31, 2023, the previously recognized compensation expense related to the PSU awards granted during 2022 was eliminated due to the Company's expectation that the threshold performance goal will not be met. The compensation expense related to the PSU awards granted during 2021 was previously eliminated. The actual number of shares to be issued at the end of each performance period will range from 0% to 150% of the initial target awards. At December 31, 2023, there was $828 of unrecognized compensation cost related to outstanding PSUs. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.16 years. |

Segment Information [Abstract] | |
Segment Information | 20. Segment Information We have six reportable operating segments, which consist of private passenger auto insurance, non-standard auto insurance, home and farm insurance, crop insurance, commercial insurance, and all other (which primarily consists of assumed reinsurance and our excess liability business). We operate only in the U.S., and no single customer or agent provides 10 percent or more of our revenues. The following tables provide available information of these segments for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021. For purposes of evaluating profitability of the non-standard auto segment, we combine the policy fees paid by the insured with the underwriting gain or loss as its primary measure. As a result, these fees are allocated to the non-standard auto segment (included in fee and other income) in the tables below. The remaining fee and other income amounts are not allocated to any segment. We do not assign or allocate all line items in our Consolidated Statement of Operations or Consolidated Balance Sheet to our operating segments. Those line items include investment income, net investment gains (losses), fee and other income excluding non-standard auto, and income tax expense (benefit) within the Consolidated Statement of Operations. For the Consolidated Balance Sheet, those items include cash and investments, property and equipment, other assets, accrued expenses and other liabilities, income taxes recoverable or payable, and shareholders’ equity.

Statutory Net Income (Loss), Capital and Surplus, and Dividend Restrictions | 21. Statutory Net Income (Loss), Capital and Surplus, and Dividend Restrictions The following table presents selected information, as filed with insurance regulatory authorities, for our insurance subsidiaries as determined in accordance with accounting practices prescribed or permitted by such insurance regulatory authorities as of and for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021: 2023 2022 2021 Nodak Insurance: Statutory capital and surplus $ 176,783 $ 175,673 $ 221,761 Statutory unassigned surplus 171,783 170,673 216,761 Statutory net income (loss) 7,839 (29,978 ) 5,311 American West: Statutory capital and surplus 15,423 14,957 18,400 Statutory unassigned surplus 9,422 8,956 12,399 Statutory net income (loss) (38 ) (3,228 ) (54 ) Primero: Statutory capital and surplus 8,585 8,677 10,138 Statutory unassigned surplus (675 ) (582 ) 879 Statutory net income (loss) (136 ) (1,211 ) 127 Battle Creek: Statutory capital and surplus 6,047 5,660 6,821 Statutory unassigned surplus 3,047 2,660 3,821 Statutory net income (loss) 146 (1,189 ) (77 ) Direct Auto: Statutory capital and surplus 32,843 32,054 37,960 Statutory unassigned surplus 29,843 29,054 34,960 Statutory net income (loss) 90 (6,074 ) 6,451 Westminster: Statutory capital and surplus 21,328 20,090 24,706 Statutory unassigned surplus 16,328 15,090 19,706 Statutory net income (loss) 1,200 (3,861 ) 1,723 State insurance laws require our insurance subsidiaries to maintain certain minimum capital and surplus amounts on a statutory basis. Our insurance subsidiaries are subject to regulations that restrict the payment of dividends from statutory surplus and may require prior approval from their domiciliary insurance regulatory authorities. Our insurance subsidiaries are also subject to risk-based capital requirements that may further affect their ability to pay dividends. Our insurance subsidiaries statutory capital and surplus at December 31, 2023 and 2022 exceeded the amount of statutory capital and surplus necessary to satisfy risk-based capital requirements by a significant margin. Amounts available for distribution in 2024 to Nodak Insurance as dividends from its insurance subsidiaries without prior approval of insurance regulatory authorities are $134 from American West and Primero. No There is no amount available for payment of dividends from Nodak Insurance to NI Holdings during 2024 without the prior approval of the North Dakota Insurance Department. Prior to its payment of any dividend, Nodak Insurance will be required to provide notice of the dividend to the North Dakota Insurance Department. This notice must be provided to the North Dakota Insurance Department 30 days prior to the payment of an extraordinary dividend and 10 days prior to the payment of an ordinary dividend. The North Dakota Insurance Department has the power to limit or prohibit dividend payments if an insurance company is in violation of any law or regulation. These restrictions or any subsequently imposed restrictions may affect our future liquidity. No dividends were declared or paid by Nodak Insurance during the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2021. The Nodak Insurance Board of Directors declared and paid dividends of $3,000 to NI Holdings during the year ended December 31, 2022. Direct Auto re-domesticated from Illinois to North Dakota during 2021 and is now subject to the same dividend restrictions as Nodak Insurance. The amount available for payment of dividends from Direct Auto to NI Holdings during 2024 without the prior approval of the North Dakota Insurance Department is approximately $90 as of December 31, 2023. No Westminster re-domesticated from Maryland to North Dakota during 2021 and is now subject to the same dividend restrictions as Nodak Insurance. The amount available for payment of dividends from Westminster to NI Holdings during 2024 without the prior approval of the North Dakota Insurance Department is approximately $1,200 as of December 31, 2023.

Subsequent Event [Abstract] | |
Subsequent Event | 22. Subsequent Event As of January 2, 2024, the North Dakota Secretary of State approved the conversion of Battle Creek Mutual Insurance Company from a mutual insurance company to a stock insurance company. In accordance with the approved plan of conversion, the name of Battle Creek Mutual Insurance Company has become Battle Creek Insurance Company. As of the conversion date, the outstanding principal of the surplus note due from Battle Creek Mutual Insurance Company to Nodak Insurance Company was $3,000,000. There was no accrued interest as of the conversion date. Battle Creek Insurance Company has issued 300,000 shares of its common stock to Nodak Insurance Company at a $10.00 per share par value and has become a 100% wholly-owned subsidiary of Nodak Insurance Company. The surplus note is considered paid in full as of the conversion date. We are currently in the process of finalizing the accounting for this transaction, which will be reflected in the consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2024, to be included in the first quarter 2024 Form 10-Q. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Basis of Consolidation | Basis of Consolidation Our consolidated financial statements, which we have prepared in accordance with GAAP, include our accounts and those of our wholly-owned subsidiaries, as well as Battle Creek, an entity we control via a surplus note agreement. We have eliminated all significant intercompany accounts and transactions in consolidation. |
Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates In preparing our consolidated financial statements, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the balance sheet, and revenues and expenses for the periods then ended. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. We make estimates and assumptions that can have a significant effect on amounts and disclosures we report in our consolidated financial statements. The most significant estimates relate to our reserves for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses, earned premiums for crop insurance, valuation of investments, determination of credit impairments, valuation allowances for deferred income tax assets, deferred policy acquisition costs, as well as valuation and impairments of goodwill and other intangible assets. While we believe our estimates are appropriate, the ultimate amounts may differ from the estimates provided. We regularly review our methods for making these estimates as well as the continued appropriateness of the estimated amounts, and we reflect any adjustment we consider necessary in our current results of operations. |
Variable-Interest Entities | Variable-Interest Entities Any company deemed to be a variable interest entity (“VIE”) is required to be consolidated by the primary beneficiary of the VIE. We assess our investments in other entities at inception to determine if any meet the qualifications of a VIE. We consider an investment in another company to be a VIE if: (a) the total equity investment at risk is not sufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support, (b) the characteristics of a controlling financial interest are missing (either the ability to make decisions through voting or other rights, the obligation to absorb expected losses of the entity, or the right to receive the expected residual returns of the entity), or (c) the voting rights of the equity holders are not proportional to their obligations to absorb the expected losses of the entity and/or the rights to receive the expected residual returns of the entity, and substantially all of the entity’s activities either involve or are conducted on behalf of an investor that has disproportionately few voting rights. Upon the occurrence of certain events, we would reassess our initial determination of whether the investment is a VIE. We evaluate whether we are the primary beneficiary of each VIE and we consolidate the VIE if we have both (1) the power to direct the economically significant activities of the entity and (2) the obligation to absorb losses of, or the right to receive benefits from, the entity. We consider the contractual agreements that define the ownership structure, distribution of profits and losses, risks, responsibilities, indebtedness, voting rights, and board representation of the respective parties in determining whether we qualify as the primary beneficiary. Our assessment of whether we are the primary beneficiary of a VIE is performed at least annually. We control Battle Creek via a surplus note which provides us with the ability to appoint two-thirds of the Board of Directors of Battle Creek. Under the quota share reinsurance agreement that existed through December 31, 2019, Battle Creek’s operating results included only net investment income, bad debt expense, and income taxes. Effective January 1, 2020, the Company implemented an intercompany pooling reinsurance agreement, and Battle Creek’s operating results now include its participation in the underwriting results of the pool (2% during 2023, 2022, and 2021). For more information, see Part II, Item 8, Note 11 “Royalties, Dividends, and Affiliations”. Because we have concluded that we control Battle Creek, we consolidate the financial statements of Battle Creek, and Battle Creek’s policyholders’ interest in Battle Creek is reflected as a non-controlling interest in shareholders’ equity in our Consolidated Balance Sheet and its net income or loss is excluded from net income or loss attributed to NI Holdings in our Consolidated Statement of Operations. |
Cash and Cash Equivalents | Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include cash, money market accounts, and certain investments in highly liquid debt instruments. Cost approximates fair value for these short-term investments. |
Investments | Investments The Company’s fixed income securities and equity securities are classified as available-for-sale and carried at estimated fair value as determined by management based upon quoted market prices or a recognized independent pricing service at the reporting date for those or similar investments. Changes in unrealized investment gains or losses on the fixed income securities, net of applicable income taxes, are reflected directly in shareholders’ equity as a component of other comprehensive income (loss) and, accordingly, have no effect on net income (loss). Changes in unrealized investment gains or losses on equity securities are reported in net income (loss). Investment income from fixed income securities is recognized when earned, and realized investment gains (losses) are recognized when investments are sold, the fair value of equity securities change, or credit impairments are recognized. Fair values are based on quoted market prices or independent pricing services, if available. If a quoted market price is not available, fair value is estimated using quoted market prices for similar securities. Amortization of premium and accretion of discount are computed using the effective interest method. Net investment income includes interest and dividend income together with amortization of purchase premiums and discounts, and is net of investment management and custody fees. Realized gains and losses on investments are determined using the specific identification method and are included in net investment gains (losses), along with the change in unrealized gains and losses on equity securities. Other invested assets that do not have observable inputs and little or no market activity are carried on a cost basis, which approximates fair value. The carrying value of these other invested assets was $2,006 at December 31, 2023 and $2,005 at December 31, 2022. Beginning on December 31, 2022, credit losses are recognized through an allowance account. See Part II, Item 8, Note 2 “Recent Accounting Pronouncements” for additional information. We, along with our investment advisors, frequently review our investment portfolio for declines in fair value that could be indicative of credit losses. The available-for-sale impairment model requires an estimate of expected credit losses only when the fair value of the available-for-sale fixed income security is below its amortized cost basis. The Company considers a number of factors when determining if an allowance for credit losses is necessary including payment and default history, credit spreads, credit ratings and rating actions, and probability of default. The Company determines the credit loss component of fixed income securities by utilizing discounted cash flow modeling to determine the present value of the security and comparing the present value with the amortized cost of the security. If the amortized cost is greater than the present value of the expected cash flows, the difference is considered a credit loss and recognized as an impairment loss in net realized investment gains (losses). Credit impairments are recognized as an allowance on the Consolidated Balance Sheet with a corresponding adjustment to earnings. For fixed income securities that the Company does not intend to sell or for which it is more likely than not that the Company would not be required to sell before an anticipated recovery in value, the Company separates the credit loss component of the impairment from the amount related to all other factors and reports the credit loss component in net realized investment gains (losses). The impairment related to all other factors (non-credit factors) is reported in other comprehensive income. The allowance is adjusted for any additional credit losses and subsequent recoveries. Upon recognizing a credit loss, the cost basis is not adjusted. For fixed income securities the Company intends to sell or for which it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell before an anticipated recovery in value, the full amount of the impairment is included in net investment gains (losses). The new cost basis of the investment is the previous amortized cost basis less the impairment recognized in net investment gains (losses). The new cost basis is not adjusted for any subsequent recoveries in fair value. The Company reports investment income accrued separately from fixed income investments, available for sale, and has elected not to measure an allowance for credit losses for investment income accrued. Investment income accrued is written off through net realized investment gains (losses) at the time the issuer of the bond defaults or is expected to default on payments. For more information on investment valuation measurements, see Part II, Item 8, Note 5 “Fair Value Measurements”. |
Revenue Recognition | Revenue Recognition We record premiums written at policy inception and recognize them as revenue on a pro rata basis over the policy term or, in the case of crop insurance, over the period of risk. The portion of premiums that could be earned in the future is deferred and reported as unearned premiums. When policies lapse, the Company reverses the unearned portion of the written premium and removes the applicable unearned premium. Policy-related fee income is recognized when collected. The period of risk for our crop insurance program, which is comprised of primarily spring-planted crops, typically runs from April 1 (the approximate time when farmers can begin to work their fields) through December 15 (last date claims can be made for the most recent planting season). |
Premiums and Agents’ Balances Receivable | Premiums and Agents’ Balances Receivable Premiums and agents’ balances receivable include both direct and agent billed premiums as well as crop notes receivable related to the multi-peril crop and crop hail insurance. Accounts billed directly to the policyholder are provided grace payment and cancellation notice periods per state insurance regulations. Direct Auto also provides for agency billing for a portion of their agents. Accounts billed to agents are due within 60 days of the statement date. The agent is responsible for all past due balances. As part of its agent appointment, Direct Auto requires a personal guarantee for all balances due to Direct Auto from the principal of the contracted agency. Beginning on December 31, 2022, the premium and agents’ receivable balances are reported net of an allowance for expected credit losses. See Part II, Item 8, Note 2 “Recent Accounting Pronouncements” for additional information. We recognized $425 of credit losses for these receivables at the time of adoption of CECL. Therefore, there was no beginning balance of credit losses as of January 1, 2022, and all 2022 activity was the result of adoption. As a result of the transition from the previous accounting treatment, we did not record a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings at the time of adoption. Given the nature of these receivables, the Company has elected to use a loss-rate method to determine the expected credit losses. The allowance is based upon the Company’s ongoing review of amounts outstanding and write-offs. Management may also evaluate current economic conditions and reasonable/supportable forecasts to adjust this calculation as deemed necessary. |
Policy Acquisition Costs | Policy Acquisition Costs We defer our policy acquisition costs, consisting primarily of commissions, premium taxes, and certain other underwriting costs, reduced by ceding commissions, which vary with and relate directly to the production of business. We amortize these deferred policy acquisition costs over the period in which we earn the premiums. The method we follow in computing deferred policy acquisition costs limits the amount of such deferred costs to their estimated realizable value, which gives effect to the premium to be earned, related investment income, losses and loss adjustment expenses, and certain other costs we expect to incur as we earn the premium. |
Property and Equipment | Property and Equipment We report property and equipment at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is typically computed using the straight-line method based upon estimated useful lives of the assets. |
Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses | Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses Liabilities for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses are estimates at a given point in time of the amounts we expect to pay with respect to policyholder claims based on facts and circumstances then known. At the time of establishing our estimates, we recognize that our ultimate liability for losses and loss adjustment expenses may differ from these estimates. We base our estimates of liabilities for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses on assumptions as to future loss trends, expected claims severity, judicial theories of liability, and other factors. During the loss adjustment period, we may learn additional facts regarding certain claims, and, consequently, it often becomes necessary for us to refine and adjust our estimates of the liability. We reflect any adjustments to our liabilities for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses in our operating results in the period in which we determine the need for a change in the estimates. We maintain liabilities for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses with respect to both reported and unreported claims. We establish these liabilities for the purpose of covering the ultimate costs of settling all losses incurred through the reporting date, including investigation and litigation costs. We base the amount of our liability for reported losses primarily upon a case-by-case evaluation of the type of risk involved, knowledge of the circumstances surrounding each claim, and the insurance policy provisions relating to the type of loss our policyholder incurred. We determine the amount of our liability for unreported losses and loss adjustment expenses on the basis of historical information by line of insurance. Inflation is not explicitly selected in the loss reserve analysis. However, historical inflation is embedded in the estimated loss development factors. We closely monitor our liabilities and update them periodically using new information on reported claims and a variety of statistical techniques. We do not discount our liabilities for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses. Reserve estimates can change over time because of unexpected changes in assumptions related to our external environment and, to a lesser extent, assumptions as to our internal operations. Assumptions related to our external environment include the potential impact of significant changes in tort law and the legal environment which may impact liability exposure, the trends in judicial interpretations of insurance coverage and policy provisions, and the rate of loss cost inflation. Internal assumptions include consistency in the recording of premium and loss data, consistency in the recording of claims, payment and case reserving methodologies, accurate measurement of the impact of rate changes and changes in policy provisions, consistency in the quality and characteristics of business written within a given line of business, and consistency in reinsurance coverage and collectability of reinsured losses, among other items. To the extent we determine that underlying factors impacting our assumptions have changed, we attempt to make appropriate adjustments for such changes in our reserves. Accordingly, our ultimate liability for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses will likely differ from the amount recorded. |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes With the exception of Battle Creek, which files a stand-alone federal income tax return, we file a consolidated federal income tax return which includes NI Holdings and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Insurance companies typically pay state premium taxes rather than state income taxes. However, Direct Auto is subject to state income taxes in the state of Illinois, in addition to state premium taxes. Additionally, NI Holdings, on a stand-alone basis, pays state income taxes to the state of North Dakota for income or losses generated as a separate financial entity. State premium taxes are included as a part of amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs. State income taxes are reported along with federal income taxes as income tax expense (benefit). The Company did not have any material uncertain tax positions as of December 31, 2023 and 2022. The Company’s policy is to recognize tax-related interest and penalties accrued related to unrecognized benefits as a component of income tax expense. The Company did not recognize any tax-related interest and penalties, nor did it have any tax-related interest or penalties accrued as of December 31, 2023 and 2022. We account for deferred income taxes using the asset and liability method. The objective of the asset and liability method is to establish deferred income tax assets and liabilities for the temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the income tax basis of our assets and liabilities at enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when we realize or settle such amounts. We re-measure existing deferred income tax assets (including loss carryforwards) and liabilities when a change in tax rate occurs and record an offset for the net amount of the change as a component of income tax expense from continuing operations in the period of enactment. We also record any change to a previously recorded valuation allowance as a result of re-measuring existing temporary differences and loss carryforwards as a component of income tax expense from continuing operations. The Company has elected to reclassify any tax effects stranded in accumulated other comprehensive income as a result of a change in income tax rates to retained earnings. |
Earnings Per Share | Earnings Per Share Earnings per share are computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the same period. Unearned shares related to the Company’s ESOP are not considered outstanding until they are released and allocated to plan participants. Unearned shares related to the Company’s Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”) and Performance Share Units (“PSUs”) are not considered outstanding until they are earned by award participants. See Part II, Item 8, Note 12 “Benefit Plans” and Note 18 “Share-Based Compensation”. |
Credit Risk | Credit Risk Our primary investment objective is to earn competitive returns by investing in a diversified portfolio of securities. Our portfolio of fixed income securities and, to a lesser extent, short-term investments, is subject to credit risk. We define this risk as the potential loss in fair value resulting from adverse changes in the borrower’s ability to repay the debt. We manage this risk by performing an analysis of prospective investments and through regular reviews of our portfolio by our management team and investment advisors. We also limit the amount of our total investment portfolio that we invest in any one security. Property and liability insurance coverages are marketed through captive agents in North Dakota and through independent insurance agencies located throughout all other operating areas. All business, except for the majority of Direct Auto’s business, is billed directly to the policyholders. We maintain cash balances primarily at one bank, which are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to $250. During the normal course of business, balances are maintained above the FDIC insurance limit. The Company maintains short-term investment balances in investment grade money market accounts that are insured by the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (“SIPC”) up to $500. During the normal course of business, balances for these accounts are often maintained in excess of the SIPC insurance limit. |
Reinsurance | Reinsurance The Company limits the maximum net loss that can arise from large risks or risks in concentrated areas of exposure by reinsuring (ceding) certain levels of risks to reinsurers, either on an automatic basis under general reinsurance contracts known as treaties or through facultative contracts placed on substantial individual risks. Ceded reinsurance is treated as the risk and liability of the assuming companies. The ceding of insurance does not legally discharge us from primary liability under our policies, and we must pay the loss if the reinsurer fails to meet its obligation. Amounts recoverable from reinsurers are estimated in a manner consistent with the associated claim liability. Beginning on December 31, 2022, credit losses are recognized through an allowance account developed using the CECL model. See Part II, Item 8, Note 2 “Recent Accounting Pronouncements” for additional information. The allowance is based upon the Company’s ongoing review of amounts outstanding, length of collection periods, changes in reinsurer credit standing, disputes, applicable coverage defenses and other relevant factors. Management has concluded that it is not necessary to record an allowance for expected credit losses related to reinsurance recoverables. All of our significant reinsurance partners are rated “A-” (Excellent) or better by AM Best, and there is no history of write-offs. |
Goodwill and Other Intangibles | Goodwill and Other Intangibles Goodwill assets arise from business combinations and consist of the excess of the fair value of consideration paid over the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. We evaluate goodwill and other intangible assets for impairment on an annual basis or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that the carrying amount of goodwill and other intangible assets may exceed their fair value. When performing our goodwill impairment analyses, we typically first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. In making our assessment, we evaluate a number of factors including operating results, key changes in the reporting unit, business plans, macroeconomic conditions, and industry considerations. Inherent uncertainties exist with respect to these factors and to our judgment in applying them when we make our assessment, and impairment of goodwill and other intangibles could result from changes in economic and operating conditions in future periods. We may also choose to bypass the qualitative assessment in any period for any reporting unit and proceed directly to performing the quantitative assessment. If our qualitative assessment indicates it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount or we choose to bypass the qualitative assessment, we will perform a quantitative assessment that compares the reporting unit’s carrying value with its estimated fair value. The determination of the fair value of our reporting units is based on a combination of a market approach that considers benchmark company market multiples, and an income approach that utilizes discounted cash flows. The cash flows used to determine fair value are dependent on a number of significant management assumptions such as our expectations of future performance and the expected future economic environment, which are partly based upon our historical experience. Our estimates are subject to change given the inherent uncertainty in predicting future results. While we believe such assumptions and estimates are reasonable, the actual results may differ materially from the projected amounts. Should the carrying value exceed the estimated fair value, a goodwill impairment charge will be recognized in the amount by which the reporting unit’s carrying amount exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the total goodwill assigned to the reporting unit. For the goodwill arising from the acquisition of Primero in 2014, we performed the annual qualitative assessment as of the beginning of the fourth quarter of 2023 and concluded there was no impairment of the goodwill. We also did not record any impairments of goodwill for this reporting unit during the years ended December 31, 2022 or 2021. For the goodwill arising from the acquisition of Westminster in 2020, we determined that it was appropriate to perform a quantitative assessment during the fourth quarter of 2023. Based on our quantitative assessment as described above, we concluded that the goodwill related to Westminster was fully impaired as of December 31, 2023, primarily due to Westminster’s actual and expected future performance being well below initial projections and expectations. We did not record any impairments of goodwill for this reporting unit during the years ended December 31, 2022 or 2021. Intangible assets arising from the acquisition of Direct Auto in 2018 represent the estimated fair values of certain intangible assets, including a favorable lease contract, a state insurance license, the value of the Direct Auto trade name, and the value of business acquired (“VOBA”). The state insurance license asset has an indefinite life, while the Direct Auto trade name was amortized over five years from the August 31, 2018 acquisition/valuation date. The favorable lease contract and VOBA assets have been fully amortized. We did not record any impairments of the intangible assets for this reporting unit during the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 or 2021. Other intangible assets arising from the acquisition of Westminster represent the estimated fair values of certain intangible assets, including state insurance licenses, the value of Westminster’s distribution network, the value of the Westminster trade name, and the VOBA. The state insurance license asset has an indefinite life, while the distribution networks asset and Westminster trade name are being amortized over twenty years and ten years, respectively, from the January 1, 2020 acquisition/valuation date. The VOBA asset has been fully amortized. We did not record any impairments of the other intangible assets for this reporting unit during the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 or 2021. |
