A premium principle is an economic decision rule used by the insurer in order to determine the amount of the net premium for each risk in his portfolio.

We consider a premium principle for risks of any sign, and prove a representation of premium principle without some property which involves the distribution of a risk. Later we introduce this property as a corollary.
