Typically, insurance agents are paid a commission based upon the premium for the policy sold. Therefore, there is no direct correlation between earnings and and an "hourly rate".
In some transactions it may take many visits with the client, and working with the insurance underwriter, to close the deal and get the policy issued--all of which may be very time consuming. In those cases, the hourly rate may effectively be very low. In other, "easy" cases, where selling the product is not hard and underwriting is not troublesome, not much time may be involved for the agent, so the commission, were it translated to an hourly rate, would be proportionately higher.
At best, one could take an average of earnings of all insurance agents to get a very broad idea of earnings. Even then, you would be best advised to narrow that further into the type of insurance being sold (life, health, auto, homeowners, etc.). In no event would this be an exact figure.
A bit more:
Their salary depends on several factors. Some agents are self employed, and make 12% - 15% comission on all policies sold, depending on the insurance company the policy is written with, at least with independent insurance agents.
An independent insurance agent is one who can write insurance policies with various insurance companies, while a captive agent is one who can write policies only through the insurance company under whom they have a franchise, such as State Farm, All State, etc.
When I was a licensed P&C (property and casualty, which is homeowner's and auto) agent in the mid 1980's the salaries were considerably less than they are now, so to give that pay scale would be irrelevant for today's pay scale. But the independent agents who own their agency definitely make more than the agents who work for another agent.

Insurance money is paid when you make a valid claim against the policy and can prove why the situation falls under the terms of the policy---whether it is Life Insurance, Car Insurance, Accident Insurance, Travel Insurance, etc. Call the Insurance Company for exact details.
Insurance agents are paid commissions on the policies they sell to customers. In other words, they earn money when they make a sale.
== ==How much DO insurance agents make? Depending on whether you are in the US or AUS, they make about 15% and 12% respectively off the quoted price.
I think you should get insurance agents because they are very helpful and can make insurance a lot easier to manage. If you do not have an agent insurance is harder to get.
Many insurance agents earn their money by commission. If they do not earn commission, many would make around $25,000 and more yearly.
Digging into my knowledgee of insurance agents, their income is based on commission, meaning the harder they work, the more money they make. It is not necesarily a set income, nor consistent. To get your license you can take it online or through an actual insurance agency.
Insurance agents make money on a commission only basis. You get paid only when you make a sale. This means that you will not get a regular paycheck and cannot count on earning a certain amount of money to pay bills. On an average, you can expect to make about $50,000 a year.
They are independent insurance agents that work with other insurance companies to make sure your auto insurance is the best it can be, even if that means moving to another insurance company.
