Financial and Investment Analysts salary in Alaska

The median wage for Financial and Investment Analysts in Alaska was $94,480 in 2024, about 7% below the US median of $101,220. That gap is relatively narrow for a state this remote from major financial centers.

The spread between bottom and top earners is wide. The 10th percentile sat at $64,060, while the 90th reached $219,980. Top earners in Alaska make roughly 3.4 times what entry-level analysts make, a range that reflects real differences in seniority, specialization, and the types of clients or funds an analyst works with. The average wage of $121,500 runs well above the median, which tells us a smaller group of high earners pulls the average up.

Alaska's cost-of-living index sits at 105.6, about 6% above the national baseline. After adjusting for that, the $94,480 median translates to roughly $89,470 in national-baseline dollars. The gap to the US median widens to around 12% in purchasing terms. That is worth knowing, especially for anyone comparing this figure to an offer in a lower-cost state.

BLS projects employment in this occupation to grow 5.7% between 2024 and 2034, which puts it in the faster-than-average category. The Alaska market for these roles is small at around 210 positions total, so the growth percentage represents a modest absolute addition rather than a large wave of openings.
