How Much Money Can You Make As A Life Insurance Agent? 
This varies widely . The short answer is that you can make a 4 figure income all the way to a 6 figure income . If I remember correctly , the national average for an `` experienced agent '' is around $ 50k to $ 60k per year . But an `` experienced agent '' is one who has 3 or more years experience . The average income for those under the 3 year mark is less than that . Of course , all of this varies a bit depending on what area of Life Insurance you are in . Also , the new agent failure rate is around 90 % in the first year . It is a hard profession starting out , but very rewarding once established .
