recycled parts use amount input unit that inputs an amount in the case in which the insured object is repaired using recycled parts; and

calculation unit that finds an amount of difference between the amount inputted by the new parts use amount input unit and the amount inputted by the recycled parts use amount input unit to calculate a predetermined ratio of the amount of difference as a refund amount.

2. A nonlife insurance system according to claim 1, characterized in that the refund calculation unit calculates the refund amount with different ratios according to the amount of difference.

3. A nonlife insurance system according to claim 1, characterized in that the refund calculation unit sets an upper limit for a refund amount to be calculated.

4. A nonlife insurance system according to claim 1, characterized by further comprising payment unit that pays the refund amount calculated by the refund calculation unit to the owner of the insured object.
