FP&A vs Risk Analyst: which pays more?
The median for FP&A is $122,500 per year (typically $95,222–$152,505), versus $129,100 for Risk Analyst ($99,000–$161,188). That puts Risk Analyst about 5% ahead at the median.
Both figures are computed live from active listings on JobsRadar and normalized to annualized USD, so FP&A and Risk 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.
