Financial Analyst vs FP&A: which pays more?
The median for Financial Analyst is $107,500 per year (typically $88,163–$133,700), versus $138,250 for FP&A ($118,500–$160,000). That puts FP&A about 29% ahead at the median.
Both figures are computed live from active listings on JobsRadar and normalized to annualized USD, so Financial Analyst and FP&A are compared on equal terms regardless of the currency each role was originally posted in. Only roles that publish a salary range feed the medians; numbers refresh every few hours as new roles post and older ones close, so this comparison reflects the market right now rather than a fixed survey. Use it as a directional benchmark when weighing one path against the other.
