Frequently asked questions
How is insurance agent commission calculated?+
Commission is a percentage of the premium. The first year usually pays a higher rate, and later years pay a smaller renewal or trail rate. Total earnings from a policy are the first-year commission plus renewal commission for each remaining year of the term. This calculator adds both.
What commission rates should I enter?+
Rates are capped by regulation and differ by product line and insurer, so enter the rates that apply to your product. The calculator does not assume a rate for you, which keeps the result accurate for your situation.
Does this include GST or TDS?+
No. It shows gross commission before GST and TDS. Your actual take-home will be lower after applicable taxes. See the GST and tax guide for agents for how these apply.
Why does renewal commission matter so much?+
A product with a modest first-year rate but a steady renewal trail can out-earn a high upfront product over a long term. Looking at lifetime commission, not just the first year, helps you build stable recurring income.
Can I use this across many policies?+
Run it per policy to understand each product's economics. To manage commission across your whole book automatically, Polisync tracks commissions policy by policy inside the app.
