Financial managers direct an organization's financial health — planning, reporting, and investment strategy. Based on 12,710 certified H-1B and PERM filings from U.S. Department of Labor disclosure data, the median sponsored salary for a Financial Manager is $143,187 per year.
| Percentile | Annual salary |
|---|---|
| 10th (entry) | $78,978 |
| 25th | $103,735 |
| 50th (median) | $143,187 |
| 75th | $200,000 |
| 90th (senior) | $254,405 |
Every other salary site shows the LCA-posted wage — the wage for the position. Using USCIS I-129 petition data, we can compare that against the actual pay the sponsored worker received, and the prevailing-wage floor, across 844 matched Financial Managers petitions.
The median worker is paid 2.2% above the posted LCA wage, but the mean actual pay runs 3.5% above the mean posted wage — so the upside is concentrated in the top earners. 25.4% are paid above their posted wage, 71.1% at it, and 3.6% below.
Actual-pay data covers FY2021–FY2024 cap-subject H-1B lottery petitions matched to certified LCAs (aggregates only). Base wage excludes equity and bonuses, so it is not total compensation. Source: I-129 petition data sourced from USCIS, obtained by Bloomberg.
Of 12,710 filings, 2,520 are H-1B (temporary work visa) and 10,190 are PERM (green-card labor certification, 80% of the total).
