Financial and Investment Analysts salary in Dallas, Texas

With about 10,480 Financial and Investment Analysts working in the Dallas metro, this is one of the larger concentrations of the role in Texas. The 2024 median annual wage was $95,850, roughly 4% above the Texas median of $92,370 but about 5% below the national median of $101,220.

That last comparison is worth pausing on. Dallas pays above the Texas average for this role, yet falls short of what analysts earn nationally. The national figure is pulled up by major financial centers like New York and San Francisco, where compensation runs well above the US median. Dallas sits in a reasonable middle position for a major finance hub.

The spread across the local pay range is wide. Analysts at the 10th percentile earned around $60,910 in 2024, while those at the 90th percentile reached $155,300. Top earners make about 2.5 times what those starting out make, which reflects how much experience, specialization, and the type of firm matter in this field. The mean of $104,190 runs above the median, which tells us a smaller group of senior analysts pull the average up.

The 25th to 75th percentile range, $73,450 to $124,450, is probably the most useful band for anyone benchmarking a current offer or negotiating a raise. Most working analysts in Dallas fall somewhere in that $50,000 span, depending on years in the role and the kind of work they do.
