The amount of the commission the agent makes is no concern as to the cost of the insurance to the consumer. There is no effect whatsoever. Likewise, there is no saving to the consumer whether he buy from an agent, broker or off the internet. The only thing you give up from one to the other is expertise and options. The broker having the most options and often the most experience which may save the consumer the most money. Regarding commissions, it varies from company to company. Captive agents make a lower percentage than do brokers. It can range from approx 40% to over 100%.

How much an hour does an insurance agent make?

Having worked for an insurance agent, it is important to note that most insurance agents are paid based on a commission scale that relates directly to the amount of insurance premium they collect, not based on an hourly wage. That of course may depend on which company the agent works for, and whether or not they are an independent agent. Because the salary is based directly on the amount of insurance premium collected by the agent, it can be very difficult to determine an average salary for an agent. Usually salaries range from 35000 to well over 100000 per year, again depending on the size of the agents book of business.
