Financial Analyst vs FP&A: which pays more?
The median for Financial Analyst is $97,500 per year (typically $80,250–$117,488), versus $120,000 for FP&A ($99,000–$146,209). That puts FP&A about 23% 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.
