FP&A vs Quantitative Analyst: which pays more?
The median for FP&A is $120,000 per year (typically $99,000–$147,056), versus $166,250 for Quantitative Analyst ($124,063–$207,719). That puts Quantitative Analyst about 39% ahead at the median.
Both figures are computed live from active listings on JobsRadar and normalized to annualized USD, so FP&A and Quantitative Analyst 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.
