Lines disclosed: Dental · Vision · Life · Short-term disability · Long-term disability

Broker pay as a share of insured premium: 5.1% (peer median 6.3%, 35th percentile).

Without the 16 low-disclosure peers, this plan is at the 80th percentile of 87 comparable plans (your plan plus 86 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.

Vision

Not comparable

Premium under $10,000 is too small to compare

Voluntary / worksite premium is typically paid by employees through payroll deduction, so commission on those lines comes out of employee money rather than company money.

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.

Everything in this table is from the 2025 filing. These 7 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.

Who funds this. Voluntary / worksite premium is typically paid by employees through payroll deduction, so commission on those lines comes out of employee money rather than company money.

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. Contracts under $10,000 in premium are listed for completeness, with no rate or peer position.
