How much do health insurance agents earn?

There is no federal wage figure for health insurance agents specifically. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports a median annual wage of $62,280 for insurance sales agents overall (May 2025), and agents at direct health and medical insurance carriers earned a median of $73,440. Private estimates that separate out health agents run higher, but they vary by source and are unofficial. Health policies typically pay commissions of 5% to 10% of the first-year premium, with smaller renewal commissions.
