FP&A vs Investment Banking: which pays more?
The median for FP&A is $139,125 per year (typically $119,000–$160,500), versus $206,250 for Investment Banking ($176,250–$228,750). That puts Investment Banking about 48% ahead at the median.
Both figures are computed live from active listings on JobsRadar and normalized to annualized USD, so FP&A and Investment Banking 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.
