Information security analysts can save big in Iowa, where the average salary is higher and cost of living is significantly lower compared to other states. Meanwhile, workers in this field based in Mississippi, Montana, Arkansas, and Vermont make the least\u2014under $96,000 a year.<\/p>\n<p>That said, your income as an information security analyst isn\u2019t solely dependent on your location. Companies decide individual salaries using a number of factors, including level of experience, education, and outside influences such as a counteroffer or signing bonus. \u201cBased on an offer that you get, you can negotiate,\u201d adds Jody Thelander, a compensation executive and the founder of recruiting and research consultancy <a href=\"https:\/\/jthelander.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Go to https:\/\/jthelander.com\/\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"sc-424e8006-0 lagCOr\">J.Thelander Consulting<\/a>. Negotiating is especially important if your expertise or tenure surpasses the salary band, or the job offer is substantially lower than the going market rate as outlined below.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Cost of living<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>When evaluating whether a salary is adequate, always take into consideration the cost of living in your area\u2014or how much you have to pay for necessities like food, transportation, or housing. For example, making six figures in New York City or the Bay Area of California won\u2019t take you as far as it would in rural parts of those same states. Doing the math of how much you\u2019ll bring in versus how much you spend month to month can give you some peace of mind\u2014and ensure you\u2019re really making enough to live comfortably.<\/p>\n<p>Cost-of-living indexes are calculated against a base index of 100\u2014in the case of each U.S. state, they\u2019re compared to the cost of living in the entire country. For example, the cost-of-living index for Washington, where information security analysts make the highest salary, is 116, which signifies that the state of Washington has a cost of living that is 16% higher than the national average.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-datawrapper wp-block-embed-datawrapper\">\n<p><iframe class=\"\" aria-label=\"Map\" id=\"datawrapper-chart-BFUNn\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"623\" loading=\"lazy\" scrolling=\"no\" src=\"https:\/\/datawrapper.dwcdn.net\/BFUNn\/3\/\" style=\"border:none\" title=\"Comparing the relative cost of living in each state\" width=\"100%\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Information security analyst salary by state<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h2>\n<p>In the chart below, we\u2019ve outlined the average annual salary for information security analysts in each U.S. state, according to the latest BLS wage data\u2014last pulled in May 2023.
