Editorial commentary

What the numbers say

Louisville's median wage for Financial and Investment Analysts came in at $62,890 in 2024. That sits about 16% below the Kentucky median of $75,260 and 38% below the national median of $101,220. Both gaps are large enough to matter when evaluating an offer here.

The average wage was $73,170, about $10,000 above the median. A smaller group of higher-paid analysts in the metro pulls that average up, so the median is the more reliable baseline for most people entering or mid-level in this role.

The spread from p10 to p90 runs $48,630 to $106,850. Top earners in Louisville make roughly twice what the bottom of the range earns. The p25 sits close to the p10 at $50,140, which means the lower half of the range is compressed. Most of the variation in pay happens above the median, between the 50th and 90th percentiles.

About 1,150 people work in this role across the Louisville metro. That is a relatively small pool. In a market this size, individual factors like employer type, whether the role sits inside a bank, an insurer, or a corporate finance team, can shift pay considerably from the published median.
