Advisor Compensation

Clear, competitive compensation

Compensation Grid

At Raymond James, we take pride in our straightforward, consistent payout grid. We don’t include incentives for promoting proprietary products, and we don’t try to complicate your pay with confusing formulas. We recognize that quality financial advisors are our most important asset and critical to our success.

As part of the grid commission formula, the guaranteed monthly salary/draw is applied against the grid commission amount such that the earned commission amount to which you are entitled equals the grid commission less the amount of the monthly salary/draw paid previously in the month. If the grid commission amount is less than the guaranteed minimum salary/draw for the month, your guaranteed salary/draw for the month will not be reduced. Instead, the resulting deficit from that month will be applied against future grid commissions that are in excess of the guaranteed monthly salary/draw in future months. In no event will you be paid less than the guaranteed minimum salary/draw in any month of employment. If you have a commission deficit upon termination of employment, you will not be required to repay that amount or any portion of previous guaranteed salary/draw payments.
