Home and car insurance agents typically receive a 10 to 15 percent commission on the first yearâs premium. Commissions can range as low as 8 percent, says Bissett, while 15 [percent] would be on the very high end.. In contrast, life insurance agents make most of their money in the first year of a new policy.
As we mentioned, brokers make money by charging a commission on each trade. The amount a broker charges varies greatly between discount and full-service brokers. Traditionally, discount brokers don't do anything but execute the trade. Many online brokers, therefore, are discount brokers. You fill out the details of the trade on the Web site, hit buy or sell and someone on the other end makes the transaction. Discount brokers can charge as little as $5 to $15 per trade. Full-service brokers do much more than just execute trades.
