Broker pay as a share of insured premium: 2.8% (peer median 3.0%, 6th highest of 10 comparable plans (your plan plus 9 peers)).

Without the 1 low-disclosure peer, this plan is 3rd highest of 9 comparable plans (your plan plus 8 peers).

Per-participant and share-of-premium comparisons differ because your plan insures more 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 history

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

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.

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.

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
Medical + Dental	Aetna Life Insurance Co.Plan 502	Not comparable	Bundled; no single-line peerRate is above 40% of premium on a core line, or 100% on a voluntary line

n = the number of peer contracts in that comparison group.

Everything in this table is from the 2024 filing. These 24 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. 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.
