Benchmarked against: All industries · 50,000+ employees · all industries at this size, nationwide · n=115 employers (your plan plus 114 peers)

Fewer than the minimum (10) other employers of this size had broker pay on file, so the comparison widens to all industries at this size. The 115 figure is not other companies — it's every sector at your employee-size band, nationwide.

2024 · 3rd pct vs peers · n=115

Without the 28 low-disclosure peers, this plan is at the 1st percentile of 87 comparable plans (your plan plus 86 peers).

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. 2025 broker pay on file so far totals $81,250 across all lines, about 150% more than the $32,500 for 2024. Rows for 2025 stay in the broker history and stay out of the headline and the peer comparison.

Self-funded medical. This figure is commissions on the insured ancillary lines (life, disability, dental, vision, stop-loss). A self-funded employer's medical advisor is typically paid a fee outside these filings, so total broker pay is usually higher than the figure shown.

Broker history

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

Medical here is self-funded. The employer pays its own health claims (usually through a TPA), so there's no insurance contract for medical and it never appears on Schedule A. The itemized lines below are the insured ancillary coverages — dental, vision, life, disability. Self-funded medical broker or consultant fees paid from plan assets are reported on Schedule C — shown below, tagged Sch. C. What Schedule C does not capture is advisor pay the employer makes from its own corporate funds instead of plan assets, which is not reportable, so the filed figure can be lower than what an advisor is paid in total.

Year:

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.
