Same license, totally different results.<\/p> <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As of October 2025, the average Series 65 salary is $78,695 a year. Some advisors make around that, some barely scrape by, and the top earners bring in about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ziprecruiter.com\/Salaries\/Series-65-Salary\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">$115,000<\/a>. It all depends on how you use your license, whether you\u2019re giving investment advice at a firm, selling securities, or running your own financial planning services.<\/p> <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A Series 65 license doesn\u2019t hand you a paycheck.
