What We Earn
PC Financial Insurance Broker Inc.
Broker compensation is part of your insurance premium; hence you are not charged for anything for the insurance services you receive from us.
For auto and home insurance, we earn a percentage of the premium when a new policy is sold or an existing policy is renewed. This commission percentage is paid annually for both new business and renewals. Based on the financial performance of the policies that we have sold, we also earn additional compensation, which is not guaranteed (collectively called “Contingency Income”). That Contingency Income is determined based on the profit (if any) which is generated over time by all of the auto and home insurance policies we have placed with a particular insurance company. In other instances, we may earn additional commissions calculated on the overall business we hold with an insurance company or we may have some of our operating and marketing expenses reimbursed by those insurers (“Supplemental Income”).
Below, we have listed the insurance companies with whom we have contracts and we show the range of commission percentage that is paid to us, each policy term, for both new policies and renewals.
Insurance Company | Commission | Contingency Income | Supplemental Income |

Aviva Insurance Company | 7.0% - 20.0% | Y | |
The Dominion of Canada General Insurance Company (Travelers) | 10.0% - 20.0% | Y | |
