2019
Showing 2019, the latest year with a complete peer group. A 2024 filing is on file and appears in broker history; it is not benchmarked yet.
Why 2019?
The figures above use 2019, the latest year we can compare with similar employers. A filing for 2020–2024 is on file. 2020 reports only a token amount of broker pay, under $5,000. That is too small to compare with other employers. 2021 reports only a token amount of broker pay, under $5,000. That is too small to compare with other employers. 2022 reports only a token amount of broker pay, under $5,000. That is too small to compare with other employers. 2023 reports only a token amount of broker pay, under $5,000. That is too small to compare with other employers. 2024 reports only a token amount of broker pay, under $5,000. That is too small to compare with other employers. 2020 broker pay on file so far totals $938 across all lines, about 85% less than the $6,337 for 2019. 2021 broker pay on file so far totals $761 across all lines, about 88% less than the $6,337 for 2019. 2022 broker pay on file so far totals $998 across all lines, about 84% less than the $6,337 for 2019. 2023 broker pay on file so far totals $3,119 across all lines, about 51% less than the $6,337 for 2019. 2024 broker pay on file so far totals $4,460 across all lines, about 30% less than the $6,337 for 2019. Rows for 2020–2024 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: the tightest available peer cell for each line. Full table below. How the national rates are built.

Broker history
Benefit lines covered by year — broker identity limited on public pages

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 2019 — the same year as the headline figure and per-participant rate above. The 2024 filing reports only a token amount of broker pay, under $5,000.
| Benefit line | Contract | Rate | vs. peers | Position |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Medicalfiled as “Health, Prescription drug” | Bluecross Blueshield of Illinois | <0.1% | No peer cell | No commission on this contract |
| Vision | The Guardian Life Insurance Company of America | 2.1% | No peer cell | No peer cell |
Everything in this table is from the 2019 filing. These 2 contracts are a subset of the broker compensation disclosed for that year. The remainder sits on bundled multi-line contracts, contracts with no premium reported, or Schedule C service-provider fees, none of which carry a comparable single-line rate. 2024 is not rated here. Its rows appear in Broker history above as filed — pick 2024 on the year chips there to see them.
No peer cell met the minimum sample size for these lines, so rates are shown without a market position. 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. A rate on bundled multi-line premium is not comparable to a single-line rate, so bundled contracts are never given a peer position. A near-zero rate on a large premium usually means the broker is paid elsewhere (through a bundled contract, a Schedule C fee, or commission on other lines), so no market position is shown for that contract.
