The median annual earnings of financial and investment analysts were $99,010 in May 2023, according to the U.S. Department of Labor. Top earners (the top 10 percent) made more than $175,840, and the lowest salaries (the lowest 10 percent) were less than $60,830. Fifty percent of financial and investment analysts earned between $76,880 and $129,970.
If the investments of financial analysts' employers or clients perform well, it is not uncommon for those financial analysts to receive a bonus in addition to their salary. With bonuses, skilled financial analysts can make much more than their base salary.
Benefits include paid vacation, health, disability, life insurance, and retirement or pension plans. Some employers also offer profit-sharing plans. Tuition reimbursement may also be available.
