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 their first year, independent insurance agents earn commissions based strictly on the premiums paid by clients to whom they sell insurance policies and annuities. The commissions for health, auto, and homeowners insurance range from about 5 percent of the premium to between 15 and 20 percent.
