The average insurance agent in the United States earns base pay of $55,596 annually, according to Indeed. For some agents, though, the financial reward is much larger, with Zippia reporting the top 10% of insurance agents in the U.S. average an income of $88,000 a year.
Of course, not all regions of the country offer the same opportunity for those looking to get into insurance, and Zippia recently released their list of both the most and least lucrative states to be an insurance agent in 2023.
The worst five states for insurance agents according to their report are:
- Maine (99 total agent jobs with an average salary of $40,933)
- West Virginia (115 total agent jobs with an average salary of $41,910)
- Tennessee (619 total agent jobs with an average salary of $40,957)
- Alaska (65 total agent jobs with an average salary of $45,202)
- Kansas (270 total agent jobs with an average salary of $43,871)
In the slideshow above, we’ll count down Zippia’s top ten states that are the best for insurance agents.
