The average life insurance agent makes around $40,000 per year. But selling life insurance is like owning your own business. There is no limit and there is no safety net at the bottom either.
Most people who get into life insurance never make it past one year. A very few make a whole lot of money. How much one person makes has nothing to do with how much another person will make.

The more affluent life insurance agent can make in excess of $100,000 annually from the sale of life insurance. The elite Top of the Table and Court of the Table members make in excess of $250,000 annually selling life insurance.
