Financial Analyst Salary (United States)

United States financial analysts typically earn around 85,000 to 105,000 dollars per year, with buy-side and senior roles above 150,000.

Overview

Corporate, buy-side and sell-side variants of the title differ meaningfully: corporate FP&A runs 80,000 to 110,000 with modest bonuses, sell-side equity research pays more with CFA pedigree valued, and buy-side asset management offers the highest ceilings. The CFA charter is the standard credential, a multi-year self-study program. Demand is steady across finance, insurance and corporate treasury. Figures are approximate medians from federal statistics and surveys, and bonus weight, 10 to 50 percent of base, moves the real number.
