Financial Planner charges to manage portfolio

I was wondering what folks pay financial planners or investment counselors to manage their investment portfolios. Do you pay a percentage of the assets managed? If so, what percentage?  Does it vary by how much you have in the portfolio being managed?  Or do you pay a flat amount? Again does it vary by the amount of your portfolio?  Trying to figure out what is reasonable.

Thanks.

It really depends. I don't pay my financial planner anything. This is, I believe, partly because of the products I invest in and partly because of the planner's business model. I know that many advisors do charge fees, and this depends on the company's practices. I like that I don't pay anything :)
