Financial Analyst Salary in Saudi Arabia

Financial Analyst pay in Saudi Arabia: Riyadh leads, Riyadh trails

The Saudi Arabia national median for a financial analyst is ‏255,000 ر.س.‏ a year. Among 1 metros with observed data, pay runs from about ‏179,000 ر.س.‏ in Riyadh to ‏179,000 ر.س.‏ in Riyadh (1×).

Financial analysts evaluate performance and guide investment and budgeting decisions. Common screening skills include Modeling, Excel, Forecasting, and Valuation.

A modeled national band runs about ‏163,200 ر.س.‏–‏367,200 ر.س.‏ around that midpoint. Licensing and immigration rules are independent of this cash sort. Employment outlook for the occupation is sketched at +9% over a decade — a national demand guess, not a hiring guarantee in every Saudi city.

When metro percentiles appear, prefer those over this national midpoint for a named city. Until then, treat ‏255,000 ر.س.‏ as a country-level sketch and pressure-test any offer with tax and cost-of-living tools.

Saudi Arabia shows about 2.1% CPI in 2025. A financial analyst raise that trails inflation is a real-pay cut even if it still beats last year’s peers. This occupation is also covered in 39 other countries — useful for remote or relocation shortlists, after FX and local tax.
