Financial Analysts (FP&A) build models, budgets, and forecasts, and turn the numbers into decisions for leadership.
A Financial Analyst from India costs approximately $6K-$33K per year (base) - about ₹5-28 L - versus $65K-$150K for the same hire in the United States. Most companies hire at 40-60% lower all-in cost, and base salary alone often runs well below US levels, as the table below shows. You can hire remotely as a contractor or via employer of record, with overlap on your working hours.
| Level | Hire from India (Base) | Hire in the US (Base) |
|---|---|---|
| Junior (0-2 yrs) | $6K-$11K (₹5-9 L) | $65K-$90K |
| Mid (2-5 yrs) | $11K-$19K (₹9-16 L) | $90K-$115K |
| Senior (5+ yrs) | $19K-$33K (₹16-28 L) | $115K-$150K |
