Broker pay as a share of insured premium: 20.7% (peer median 5.0%, 97th percentile).
Without the 2 low-disclosure peers, this plan is at the 11th percentile of 37 comparable plans (your plan plus 36 peers).
Per-participant and share-of-premium comparisons differ because your plan insures a different mix of lines than most peers. The line-by-line rates below are the most direct comparison.
Showing 2024, the latest year with a complete peer group. A 2025 filing is on file and appears in broker history; it is not benchmarked yet.
Why 2024?
The figures above use 2024, the latest year we can compare with similar employers. A filing for 2025 is on file. Most employers have not filed for 2025 yet, so there is no complete peer group to compare it with. Rows for 2025 stay in the broker history and stay out of the headline and the peer comparison.
Broker commission rate by benefit line
What the broker earns on each insured line, as a share of that line's own premium — not a share of total broker pay, and not what the coverage cost. Peers for these tiles: same region, similar covered lives. Full table below. How the national rates are built.
Medical
20.4%
Peer median 3.5%
Above peer rangeDental, Vision, and Life are filed only inside a bundled multi-line contract, so there is no single-line rate to compare. The bundle's effective rate is in the table below.

Broker history
Benefit lines covered by year — broker identity limited on public pages
The 2025 filing is on file and its figures are shown as filed, but most employers have not filed 2025 yet, so it is not compared with peers. The analysis year is 2024, the latest year that is complete and benchmarked.
Broker identity on this page is limited for public viewers. Sign in with your work email or share your plan basics for the full breakdown on your company.
Commission rates by benefit line
Each insured contract on the filing, with the broker's commission as a share of that contract's own premium. Premium is what was paid to the carrier for the coverage; only the commission column is broker pay.
Analysis year 2024 — the same year as the headline figure and per-participant rate above. The 2025 filing is on file and its figures are shown as filed, but most employers have not filed 2025 yet, so it is not compared with peers.
| Benefit line | Contract | Rate | vs. peers | Position |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Medicalfiled as “Health, Prescription drug” | Anthem Insurance Companies, Inc. | 20.4% | med 3.5% | Above peer range |
Bundled and other contracts — no single-line peer comparison
A bundled contract covers two or more lines on one premium (for example Health + Dental). Its effective rate is the commission on the whole premium; it is shown for completeness and never compared with single-line peers, because the mix of lines inside the bundle sets the rate as much as the broker does.
| Covers | Contract | Effective rate | vs. peers |

How the peer group for each line was built
- Medical: n=3,704 contracts, Midwest, 101-500 covered lives
n = the number of peer contracts in that comparison group.
Everything in this table is from the 2024 filing. These 2 contracts are a subset of the broker compensation disclosed for that year. The remainder sits on contracts with no premium reported or on Schedule C service-provider fees, which carry no contract rate. 2025 is not rated here. Its rows appear in Broker history above as filed — pick 2025 on the year chips there to see them.
Peer comparison here is contract-level: each line is matched to single-line contracts covering a similar number of lives. The geography and size band come from that cell's generated scope label. That is a different group from the plan-level peer set, which compares employers on total broker cost per employee, so the two sample sizes are not expected to agree. The national table on the research page includes every single-line contract on that benefit line. Company pages use the tightest cell with at least 10 contracts — region and size when those exist, otherwise national. The two medians answer different questions, so they are not expected to match. Contracts under $10,000 in premium are listed for completeness, with no rate or peer position.
