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.
A flat percentage is the easiest to calculate because it applies the same percentage across each eligible sale regardless of total sale amount. A 5 percent commission means employees earn 5 percent of each eligible item's sale price.A flat percentage still allows employees to earn greater commissions for selling higher ticket items, but the percentage of each sale does not change.his percentage can increase to 10 percent for total sales in excess of $20,000. An employee earning your business $20,000 in sales earns $1,000 in commission, whereas an employee earning your company $40,000 earns $3,000.
