How much does a commercial mortgage broker make?

No federal statistic isolates commercial mortgage brokers; the closest official figure is the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics median annual wage of $76,690 for loan officers as of May 2025, with the top 10 percent earning more than $153,180. Private salary sites report higher averages for brokers, but the figures vary widely because most broker pay is commission-based.
