Financial Analysts in Australia earn a national median of A$135,000 (A$11,300 a month, roughly A$65 an hour on a 2,080-hour year).
The closest finance & business peer is marketing manager at A$137,000, so a financial analyst earns 1.5% less at the national median in Australia.
Australia is 2nd of 7 countries for this role once medians are converted at the same exchange rate (US$94,900). The United States pays 9% more (A$146,511 at today's rate) and Singapore pays 22% less (A$105,267).
That median is about 1.5× GDP per person (US$65,100, World Bank 2025). That is a rough sign of how far the role pays above the average national income.
