We\u2019ll break down how much business analysts make depending on their location, as well as how to factor in cost of living when evaluating the payoff of pursuing this job.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How much do business analysts make?<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h2>\n<p>Business analysts in the U.S. make on average $99,410 a year, or $47.80 an hour, according to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bls.gov\/ooh\/business-and-financial\/management-analysts.htm\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Go to https:\/\/www.bls.gov\/ooh\/business-and-financial\/management-analysts.htm\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"sc-424e8006-0 lagCOr\">latest data from the BLS<\/a>. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.glassdoor.com\/Salaries\/business-analyst-salary-SRCH_KO0,16.htm\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Go to https:\/\/www.glassdoor.com\/Salaries\/business-analyst-salary-SRCH_KO0,16.htm\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"sc-424e8006-0 lagCOr\">Glassdoor<\/a> puts the average salary for a business analyst lower, at $84,278 a year, with additional pay\u2014such as bonuses or equity\u2014averaging out to $14,711 a year.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNot everyone gets their total cash from base and bonus\u2014some people just have base pay,\u201d says <a href=\"https:\/\/jthelander.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Go to https:\/\/jthelander.com\/\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"sc-424e8006-0 lagCOr\">Jody Thelander<\/a>, a compensation consultant who\u2019s spent over two decades collecting salary data on private companies.<\/p>\n<p>In Massachusetts, business analysts make the highest salary, at $134,350 a year\u2014followed closely by Wyoming ($126,840), New York ($126,450), Vermont ($125,240), and New Jersey ($122,840). This isn\u2019t all too surprising, considering New York and Massachusetts rank in the top five states for the highest cost of living, with Vermont and New Jersey ranking in the top 20 states. Arguably, Wyoming-based business analysts get the most bang for their buck with a higher-than-average salary paired with a relatively low cost of living when compared to other states.<\/p>\n<p>While these numbers likely reflect the market you\u2019re working in, it\u2019s important to note that salary is highly dependent on factors beyond location\u2014such as the type of company, your level and experience, and your <a href=\"https:\/\/fortune.com\/recommends\/banking\/how-to-negotiate-a-higher-salary\/\" target=\"_self\" aria-label=\"Go to https:\/\/fortune.com\/recommends\/banking\/how-to-negotiate-a-higher-salary\/\" class=\"sc-424e8006-0 lagCOr\" rel=\"noopener\">salary negotiation<\/a> skills. \u201cObviously, there\u2019s a premium for education, and the more exclusive the role, the more the compensation ticks upwards,\u201d Thelander adds.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Business analytics versus business intelligence: What\u2019s the difference?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Business analytics and business intelligence may sound similar, but the job responsibilities of each differ slightly. On its blog, <a href=\"https:\/\/analytics.hbs.edu\/blog\/business-intelligence-vs-business-analytics\/\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Go to https:\/\/analytics.hbs.edu\/blog\/business-intelligence-vs-business-analytics\/\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"sc-424e8006-0 lagCOr\">Harvard\u2019s business analytics program<\/a> argues that while business intelligence is focused on using data to improve efficiencies and performance today, business analytics is the practice of using data to predict outcomes and make decisions for the future. The two fields also sometimes dabble in their own set of tools, programming languages, systems, and frameworks, meaning you may need different training depending on which strikes your fancy.<\/p>\n<p>In general, though, companies benefit from having both business analytics and business intelligence teams and expertise.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Cost of living<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>A high salary is great\u2014but only if your expenses aren\u2019t high, either. Which is why the places where the cost of living is highest tend to also pay the most for business analysts. When homes, food, travel, and activities are costly, incomes naturally (and ideally) have to rise to meet them.<\/p>\n<p>The most expensive states and districts in the U.S. to live in, according to the <a href=\"https:\/\/meric.mo.gov\/data\/cost-living-data-series\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Go to https:\/\/meric.mo.gov\/data\/cost-living-data-series\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"sc-424e8006-0 lagCOr\">latest cost-of-living index data<\/a> provided by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c2er.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Go to https:\/\/www.c2er.org\/\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"sc-424e8006-0 lagCOr\">Council for Community and Economic Research<\/a> (C2ER), are Hawaii, DC, Massachusetts, California, and New York\u2014places also where emerging tech and Fortune 500 companies typically reside. In these regions, with the exception of Hawaii, business analysts tend to make more than six figures a year.<\/p>\n<p>But business analysts outside these areas can still make substantial wages, with low-cost-of-living states such as Illinois, Alabama, and Georgia paying over $100,000 a year for talent. \u201cWe know Miami\u2019s hot right now,\u201d Thelander says about demand for tech and data
