What is the average income of an financial advisor in Cebu?

Among established Crux advisors (Year 2+), the average monthly income is ₱60K–₱120K. Top producers with strong referral networks and team overrides earn ₱150K–₱300K/month. First-year advisors who prospect consistently typically reach ₱30K–₱60K/month by Month 6–12.

Are financial advisor commissions taxable in the Philippines?

Yes. Commission income is taxable. Most Crux advisors are treated as self-employed individuals and file their own income tax returns. You'll pay graduated income tax on commission minus allowable deductions. Crux advisors are advised to set aside 15–20% of gross commission for tax obligations and work with an accountant as income grows.

What are renewal commissions and when do they start?

Renewal commissions are earned every year a policyholder continues paying their premium. They begin in the second policy year — typically at 5–10% of the annual premium depending on the product. As your client base grows, renewal commissions become a growing passive income stream that continues even when you write no new business.

Is there an income ceiling for financial advisors?

No. Income is uncapped. It scales with the number of active clients, the premium size of policies sold, renewal income from existing policies, and (for team leaders) override commissions from advisors you recruit and develop. Several Crux team leaders earn over ₱500K/month consistently.

How does override commission work for Crux team leaders at Crux?

When you recruit and develop new advisors, you earn override commissions — a percentage of their production. This creates a second income stream on top of your own client commissions. Building a team of 5–10 active advisors significantly multiplies your income without requiring you to work proportionally more hours.
